Wrong bootloader information from factory Opta

Hello,

The problem is as follows:

To get the bootloader information from the Arduino Opta, the instructions provided in the documentation of arduino are used [1]. On Opta's from certain batches, this information reports bootloader v24, and the information on Ethernet, USB, and other on-board features is correct.

However, it seems that in certain batches that we bought of the Opta, if we try to get the bootloader information using [1],
the bootloader version reported is v255, and the information on Ethernet, USB, etc. is not correct: "Bootloader version: 255
RAM size: 255 MB
QSPI size: 255 MB"

It looks like not all Opta's come the same from the factory. If it is documented somewhere what is changed, and how it affects the procecedure to update the bootloader this can be acceptable.
However, currently there are Opta's that do not behave as explained in the documentation.

Start with the Opta MAC-address documentation at the referenced URL and compare its bootloader-information procedure with the reported output from affected factory batches. Determine whether the v255 values can be reproduced and whether the batch difference changes the bootloader-update procedure; done means the discrepancy and its update impact are explained or a concrete repository change is identified.
