And to add to that.
Win95A is Win95 with a service pack
Win95B is Win95 OSR2
Win95C is Win95 OSR2.1 (with USB support)

I made a small mistake.
Win95C is Win95 OSR2.1 (no USB support)
Win95D is Win95 OSR2.5 (with USB support)

All Win95 SR2.xx support USB/AGP, but none of them include this as
part of the install (well, haven't seen "D").

SR 2 requires USBsupp.exe to be downloaded
SR 2.1 has USBsupp.exe on the CD somewhere
SR 2.5 ("C") has IE 4 integrated, else same as SR 2.1

From a perspective of "what version are xxx files?", it's almost
inevitable that today's Internet-going Win95xx systems will have an
ugraded version of IE, with all the implications that go with that,
and most likely DirectX and Winsock upgrades as well.

So I'd be tempted to take the pain of ascertaining versions of the
individual files you are interested in, or (if committing to
post-Win95 versions of the Windows installer) use whatever the Windows
Installer can offer in automatic version management.

We had a Win95 CD at the office a long time ago and on the CD was
printed "With USB support". This was Win95D (verified after installing).
I never "caught it in the wild" though.

I also believe OSR2 had IE 4 in it already.
