Not for other random readers.

I only downloaded the files from Amazon's regular page over the years:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW
It never had an MD or SHA or whatever hash?
All I can offer is the file as originally downloaded with possibly the date last modified (I think Linux ext4 preserves a creation date, but file browser doesn't show it). I've variously used Windows & Linux servers and workstations.
update_kindle_5.6.1.bin for PW3 is Nov 2014
update_kindle_5.4.4.2.bin for PW1 is Nov 2014
update_kindle_5.6.1.1.bin for PW1 is Aug 2015
update_kindle_paperwhite_v2_5.6.1.bin for Pw2 is Nov 2014

I might have first got a PW1 in 2013? I did get the DXG maybe after PW2 or PW3 when it was on special offer.
I bought the last PW3 just after the PW4 came out as it was still available and I thought the PW4 I was shown was poorer than my wife's PW3, but I had a Kobo already.

I was given the K3 by the PW4 owner so the FW download date for it was the much later April 2019
Update_kindle_3.4.1_3.4.2_B008.bin
Certainly i'd have renamed some files when accepting download.
Only download for the DXG (B009) I see is the current one on Amazon, but it was August 2016. Likely not long after it was bought, though I might have bought it in April 2014. Sold cheap as obsolete stock by Amazon. Their University program for DX/DXG was a failure.
