hi, from the wiki
http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Validating_flash_dumps
for all important info like model/targetID/size metldr/bootloader_o
for the OFW versions:
NOR offsets:
ROS0
000C0000
ROS1
007C0000
001004D0 ROS0
version offset
008004D0 ROS1
version offset
or the long way....

after u extract the dump, u can check file "sdk_version" in both ROS folders or another option to verify this is using "norpatch" from Teensy/Norway
drop NorDump1.swap.bin into NORway folder, open cmd..cd into c:\norway
and type "norpatch NorDump1.swap.bin" it wil show u, this can only verify OFW not CFW versions, anyway many ways to Rome hehe
