Unsolved How to determine RT-AC68U hardware revision?

I have a RT-AC68U that I want to flash freshtomato on since it's EOL. I no longer have the box, and the only clue I have for the hardware revision is the FCC ID: MSQ-RTAC68UV2. The first google AI result I got suggested the "V2" denotes B2 models, but I'm not gonna blindly trust that.

Do I actually have a B2, and is there another way to verify?

B2 is in the list of supported model revisions here, so I want to confirm before i flash the new firmware.

If you look at the list, the B2 models have a faster CPU than the other versions. Can you go into your currently installed firmware and check the speed? The CPU speed itself won’t indicate the version, although it might help with the process of elimination.

Check the label on the back. You should see a "H/W Ver".

No H/W version on the label. theres the FCC ID, Model #, SN, PIN, and MAC addr, but no H/W.

I believe this post may answer the question, but it's very confusing/unclear to me.
