'About This Mac' in the filesystem?

Does anyone know how to determine the OS based on files, rather than going into Apple > About This Mac ?

I have an external disk that I've gotten back from a data recovery service, and I'm trying to determine what OS the drive was running under. 10.5/10.5 Server or 10.6/10.6 Server? I was thinking some differences between the OS's could be found in:

- Library > Preferences?
- Kernel Version?
- Error logs?
