I expect this is easier the older the model is. For example, my PW3 has a serial number: G090 G105 5xxx xxxx

It was purchased close to launch and shipped with 5.6.5 firmware. Too bad I didn't block firmware updates on the darned thing.

I believe currently shipped PW3 have S/N that start with G090 G105 7 or 8

Maybe you can find a similar pattern for Voyage or Oasis.
