2514 has two ethernets as you have probably surmized. The CPA part sounds like the old cisco pro model, is the chassis a vanilla color?? Cisco quit making the pro line a while back and I never messed with them but I do believe they are upgradeable to full 2500 status.
The two routers running boot 5.2.8a (10.2.8a in reality) should be fine. If the other is a Cisco Pro maybe someone else on the list has done the upgrade as I'm not sure what's required. There is no standard IOS or memory, just depends on what IOS you want to download.
