All,
The Network Processing Architecture line cards have the model number
'N2P2488.' The "N" denotes that the module is designed for the NetIron
chassis, hence NPA module. The part number listed below is the 'B2P2488,'
with the "B" denoting that the module works in the BigIron chassis, hence a
non-NPA module.
The model number in the "sh ver" command is the right place to look (other
than at the model number embossed on the module itself).

Ok... that says in the relevant section:
SL 2: B2P2488 POS Module
2048 KB BRAM, SMC version 1, ICBM version 21
SW: (1)07.2.02T61 (2)07.2.02T61
Does this tell whether it's an "old" or "NPA"-style board?
"show pos 2" gives more information:
==================================================

So the module does seem to have two CPUs and two FPGAs.
I thought those were indications of the "network processor
architecture", but then I may also be confused because the NPA modules
have been announced only two weeks(?) ago and we have ours since
November...
