The lead digit indicates that it is a V4 driver. You should use b43. The other way to tell would be from the logs, if there are any in OpenWRT. The key is in the details of the 802.11 core, which looks like "ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x0A, vendor 0x4243)". If the rev is < 5, the device must use b43legacy.
