I wouldn't worry about it.  My A2000 motherboard is etched 4.1 (I think) but
has a sticker marked "Rev. 4.2".  It's possible that differences in board
revisions don't involve different PCB's, only different chip populations
and/or "engineering changes" (wire jumpers, an extra resistor or capacitor
here or there, etc.)
