Latest High Sierra 10.13.2 Build Number

What is the latest build number for High Sierra 10.13.2.

I have two installs of High Sierra 10.13.2.

One install is on a disk initially installed with 10.13.0 updated to 10.13.1 via the App Store and then updated using the Combo updater to 10.13.2. The build number for this is 17C89.

The other install is a fresh install using the full 10.13.2 installer downloaded today (2/1/2018), the build number for this is 17C2120.

Does anyone know why there would be a difference in build numbers and what the difference might be?

Thanks.

Mac Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2), 6Gb Ram Nvidea GT120

There are hardware-specific builds, so the particular Mac model you're using is relevant. Mine are all running 17C89 but to my knowledge there is no difference between it and 17C88. I had been using 17C88, but installing the Combo update resulted in 17C89. As far as I know that's the latest, and you're not missing anything.

I just created a new VM yesterday and the build number is 17C2120. The build number I've had for awhile is 17C88.

No idea what the differences may be. It could be anything including typo fixes, different builds for different hardware, etc. Just speculative.

Both hardware identical, only difference I can detect is the the Combo update was installed just after it was announced so that would be prior to 9/12/2017 which is the date of the full installer, as shown above.

There may have been tinkering after the initial release date of 6/12/2017.

No harm done just curious.

Oh yes same hardware for both, I do notice that the version number of the full installer is 13.2.01 dated 9/12/2017, which is a little later than when 10.13.2 was initially released either as an update or a full install 6/12/2017, so there might have been minor changes included.
