How Do I Find Apps Previously Purchased if They're Not Backed Up?

I didn't have my apps backed up, thinking "I know which apps I have." I bricked my iPhone 3G upgrading the FW, and restored it to get it working again quickly.

There's one app that is available from the app store in 2 different versions. I'm not sure which one I've purchased, because it was free when I bought it, but now both versions cost money, and I can't tell from the page which one I'm entitled to at no cost. I've recently restored my system, and the iTunes app installed in a Windows XP SP3 VM is a new install. When I connect my iPhone while running iTunes, I don't see any apps listed. I checked to make sure that iTunes is authorized for the correct account, and logged in.

How do I determine which apps I've installed if they don't show up in iTunes application?

Go into iTunes...from menus up top, find the one that pulls up your account. You can access your purchase history.

That's why I was concerned, because the creators of one of my apps had changes the look of the app after a couple of updates, and then suddenly released the app under it's original look, but with a lower version#. So, the first gen app was v2.0, and the second gen app was v1.0. However, the second gen app was what the first gen app originally looked like. Confused? I know I was, and while I knew I wouldn't be charged for downloading the correct app, Until the response above, I wasn't sure how to figure out which one was the correct app, lol!
