 olpc-configure from olpc-utils does this:

 {{{
 get_xo_version() {
         # FIXME: is this reliable?
         [ -e "/ofw/banner-name" ] || return

         banner=$(</ofw/banner-name)
         if [ "${banner:0:6}" == "OLPC C" ]; then
                 XO_VERSION="1"
         elif [ "${banner}" == "OLPC XO 1.5" ]; then
                 XO_VERSION="1.5"
         fi
 }
 }}}

 olpc-session (also in olpc-utils) does the same.

 Please confirm that that is a reliable way to distinguish the machines,
 and also that it stays that way. The "banner_name" format seems to have
 changed since XO-1 and I'm not sure if that was intentional.
