Are they file-by-file identical?  If not, I think we still need to know which 
boxes are R2..     For instance, it shows XP x64 as 5.2 also, but I bet it has 
a different splash screen ;) (and who knows what else).

Yeah, Disc 1 of 2003R2 is 2003 SP1. All of the R2 stuff is on disc 2

Doing some OS auditing for full metal restore prep, I am not getting anything 
(Joeware.net wools, SMS) that is returning 2003 R2 - I get 2003 Std and 
Enterprise, 32 and 64-bit, and 2K8 and 2K8 R2.

For a full metal restore where you need the OS disk of the same version of what 
you're restoring, does it matter if it's 2K3 or 2K3 R2? Is R2 more of a 
feature-set than a code base change?
