Octane XBow 1.4 - which board revision

Octane XBow 1.4 - which board revision
Hi All,

Octane 2 front plane boards with XBow 1.3 and 1.4 share the same part number 030-0891-003. I am looking for one with XBow 1.4 and see some on fleabay for sale, however they dont say which version of XBow they have. Was there a revision point that standardise on the 1.4 version? Some of the offerings out there are revision E and I was wondering if the revision number would be an indication of which XBow version - or is there another way to tell i.e printed on the board itself?

Looking at upgrading my MXE board to a V12 gfx board, but I currently have the XBow 1.3 and need to upgrade.
