For all the official releases after Replicant 6.0 0003 we have the version number as "Replicant version: <version>" in Settings->About phone.
For the 6.0 0003 and all the older releases we have a collaborative wiki pages where any users (like me and you) can in tables the kernel version, Build date and Build number that can then be used to identify a given release[1]. Older releases are not yet added but adding them all would be a lot of work (there are 25 releases left to cover, each with multiple devices). My approach is that, if I ever install and boot an older release, I will also try to add it to that wiki page along the way. This way I can manage to improves that page without spending too much time on installing and booting devices only for that. Other approaches are probably possible, like extracting the strings from the images themselves, without a laptop, but that also requires time to do the work, and I've no idea if people still run older images than Replicant 6.0 0003. Some people might still run Replicant 4.2 for various reasons though, like for the GTA04 or due to not wanting to loose their data while migrating to Replicant 6, or because Replicant 4.2 didn't have the SIM issue that we had in Replicant 6.0 up to the 0003 included (that is now fixed in the 0004 RC5).
