Download from the radio to CHIRP (the best version for Baofeng radios
is any daily build from October 2014 or later). Then take a look on
the Settings -> Other Settings menu tab.

If "Firmware Message 1" is "  Ver  ", then the firmware version is in
"Firmware Message 2", otherwise the firmware version is in "Firmware
Message 1". All UV-5R radios (and variants) with firmware version
after BFB297 will have their "real" firmware version in "Firmware
Message 1".
