My guess is that was not a RaspiOS version
but some other Linux.

RaspiOS adds more text at the end. Using a
RPi4B example that is running RaspiOS64
(their Debian with 64-bit world and kernel):

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
BogoMIPS        : 108.00
Features        : fp asimd evtstrm crc32 cpuid
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 8
CPU variant     : 0x0
CPU part        : 0xd08
CPU revision    : 3

processor       : 1
BogoMIPS        : 108.00
Features        : fp asimd evtstrm crc32 cpuid
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 8
CPU variant     : 0x0
CPU part        : 0xd08
CPU revision    : 3

processor       : 2
BogoMIPS        : 108.00
Features        : fp asimd evtstrm crc32 cpuid
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 8
CPU variant     : 0x0
CPU part        : 0xd08
CPU revision    : 3

processor       : 3
BogoMIPS        : 108.00
Features        : fp asimd evtstrm crc32 cpuid
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 8
CPU variant     : 0x0
CPU part        : 0xd08
CPU revision    : 3

Hardware        : BCM2835
Revision        : d03114
Serial          : REPLACED
Model           : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4

The "Hardware" is misleading (and documented to
be so) but the Revision and Model are appropriate
above.

That also worked on ubuntu, but not on Fedora 34.

All 3 support:

# cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model

but there is no new-line at the end.

If vcgencmd is present and operational:

# vcgencmd otp_dump | grep 30:

should work to find the revision code. But
it failed to initialize on Fedora 34.

(All this testing is on RPi4B's.)
