This seems the other extreme. How about a comprimize like
"IMG_VERSION" or "IMAGE_VERSION" or the like, so it's clear what sort
of version we are talking about, while at the same time allowing to
reuse this on other architectures if that should be needed one day?

Best regards,

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way  is  to
make  it  so  simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the
other is to make it so complicated that there are  no  obvious  defi-
ciencies.                             - Charles Anthony Richard Hoare
