I believe that shows the Outlook version and not the version of Outlook which created the ost file (it could come from another PC entirely).
I couldn’t find any info with regards to the structure of the ost file itself. Likely there is some identification there in the header of the file. But…aren’t there only two versions that matter: 2003+ and pre-2003? Can you just try both options one at a time with a copy of the file? Or, is it more specific than that?
