"2976564102" is silkscreened on the board in the FCC photos. This is the same as on the Gen1 board.

Although the datasheet claims that the device contains a quad-core 710 MHz, the IPQ4019 pictured in FCC photos is believed to operate at 716 MHz.

Two different boards with the same layout are pictured in the FCC internal photos. One has Winbond flash and RAM but the spot for the Bluetooth chip, the second Winbond flash, and the digital temperature sensor are unpopulated while the other board has a larger Nanya RAM chip and includes the extra flash and temperature sensor. The board with the extra chips is probably just the Gen1 device since FCC documents for this Gen2 model say that Bluetooth functionality will be removed.
