On official firmwares the value is the same, but they are used in different stages. PUP image version is used by ps3swu.self (updater) when installing firmwares in normal and recovery mode. Index.dat/version.txt is not looked at when installing (hence, why you can have a 3.15 firmware with Image version correlating to 3.15 OFW and spoofed to look like a 4.11 firmware). | On official firmwares the value is the same, but they are used in different stages.

For MFW's/MFW Builder, the Image version is increased by +1, which is why you need to use Recovery mode to install a same version firmware. | For MFW's/MFW Builder, the Image version is increased by +1, which is why you need to use Recovery mode to install a same version firmware. | ||
