But, I downloaded the latest file for the Gen 7 (PW3) version and was surprised to see that it has the same name up to the version number of 5.9.7. So it seems the PW3 and PW4 are both considered 'new' and were supposed to use the same firmware files.... except that it didn't work.
Note, as far as firmware update filenames:

Paperwhite: update_kindle

Paperwhite 2: update_kindle_paperwhite_v2

Paperwhite 3: update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite

Paperwhite 4: update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_v2
