Conflicting version numbers

Question

I'm getting two conflicting version number reports from one of our Sharepoint 2007 sites.

The Site Settings page shows 12.0.0.6557 (April CU) - which is what I expected to see.
However, the HTTP Response Header shows 12.0.0.6421 (SP2).

I installed the CU myself.

Does anyone here know why this might be so?

Versioning problems tend to have consequences, so I'd like to find and fix this one as soon as I can.

Thanks in advance
Josh

The HTTP Header may not be the right indication of actual version of SharePoint. If CU was successfully applied and central Admin Reflects that, you should be fine. It appears that Http Header reflects only original versions and major upgrades like Service Packs.
