Did I buy a new Aranet4 or an old one?

Borrowed an Aranet4 from my local library and was impressed by it, so bought one. Have both now, and noticed that there are some differences. Some are visual (see pic) and some are in the specs. I want to know if the one I bought is more up-to-date (newer).

Spec-wise, the recently bought one is:
- Name: Aranet4 1FFB7
- 12 digit serial number rev.12
- Firmware v2.0.7

Library (assume older?) has a higher rev. number and different firmware:
- Name: Aranet4 28D5F
- 12 digit serial number rev**.14**
- Firmware v1.4.19

Visually (as per pic), the differences are:
- The recently bought one has different circuit board wiring and the name code (28D5F) displayed
- The Library (older?) has different wiring, no name code, and "dot" on the shaded indicator

So, is the bought one newer or older than the one I rented from the Library?

Thanks!
