Thanks! I knew I'd seen a file like that somewhere, but I couldn't find it, probably because I was looking on / instead of on the SD card.
Looks like the comma-separated fields break down into serial number (which starts with the model number), kernel version, firmware version, kernel version again, kernel version yet again, and then something I'm not certain, maybe a different representation of the firmware version? No idea why the kernel version is repeated three times, but looks like there's enough info there to identify model and firmware version.

That's a method I will fall back on, but I'd like to be as user-friendly as possible, and not require any user input at all.
