Router label says version 1.6, but the software reports as 1.0

I recently bought a TP-Link extender and anticipated leveraging the mesh ability of my router. Upon syncing the two, I learned that my router needed a firmware update to be mesh-capable.
That took me down a bit of a rabbit hole. If I use tether or the management interface, my router reports hardware vers 1. If I look at the label on the back of the device, it says 1.6. When I check for online firmware updates from the admin interface, it's says "up to date" (build date of 2020? Seriously?)
I'm hesitant to manually install the latest 1.6 firmware update given the disconnect in version reporting. Is there a trustworthy source of truth?
