It is common for boards released towards the start of year Y to have PCBs that reference year Y-1. So I do not expect that a 2017 helps identify much either. The only thing I know of that might well identify the v1.? vintage is to find the revision code via software, and see if it is a020d3 vs. something else. If it is a020d3, then the table at: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/revision-codes/README.md should apply and it would be v1.3 . Otherwise, the table is useless for the issue, having no other documented 3B+ codes. (They document that "there may be codes in use in the field that are not in this table".) It does not look like pulling it apart is likely to be worth it. If a check is made, the software check of the revision code looks more reasonable to me. But it is no big deal if you do not bother with such. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
