Default Distinguishing an LX Navigation Colibri 1 from a Colibri 4?

Per the latest IGC Approval Docs on the IGC GFAC pages, the earliest Colibri 1 has its approval level reduced to diamonds, whereas the Colibri 4 (which looks like it was an upgraded version of the earlier box) is approved for all levels. As is the completely new Colibri II, which shares nothing in common with the earlier ones.

So, the question is, which Colibri generated this file, and what level of approval does it have?

HFRFWFIRMWAREVERSION:4.0
HFRHWHARDWAREVERSION:2.0
HFFTYFRTYPE:LXNAVIGATION,COLIBRI
HFGPSGPS:U-BLOX/TIM-LP,16,max9000m

The approval doc on the GFAC site makes no mention of a Hardware Version 2.0 or Firmware Version 4.0. Is this a Colibri 4? A Colibri II.

Anyone?

Tired and eyes glazing over...
