Syscon format speculation

By looking at the SC versions of the example images uploaded... the first part of the format (qqqq.****************) seems not to be accurate

There are two CECH-25xx, one in 3.41ofw, and other in 4.00ofw... both with the string "08C2.0000000000000000"

The fact that the installation of 4.00ofw in this motherboard installs no patches (0000000000000000) means that the "base syscon firmware" (08C2) includes all the needed patches (in other words... 4.00 ofw contains no patches aplicables to this syscon)

So 08C2 seems to be the higher possible "syscon base firmware" for CECH-25xx boards (the higher models hackables) but...

There is another photo with the string "0C16.0001000100030003" (this means that has installed the patch SYS_CON_FIRMWARE_01010303.pkg and this sycon is "hardware revision 2")

But... 0C16 in hexadecimal is higher than 08C2 and the motherboard is older (this has no sense)... the only possible way to make this sense is to separate "qqqq" in 2 bytes "pp+qq". Where the first one is unknown, and the second one is the version

---

they are not little endian:
0C16 from an old 60GB
065D from CECHL01
0DBF from an old 40GB (the 60 GB is older then this one)
08C2 from a slim

this means that this must be read as: pp + qq , where qq is the revision of the SC and pp unknown

Temporall table to fill with examples to deduce the format of the first bytes before the point "." (please help to fill it)
