Router A:
mod 1 WS-X6824-SFP hw 1.0 fw 12.2(18r)S1, DFC4-A hw 1.0
mod 2 WS-X6904-40G hw 1.0 fw 12.2(50r)SYL, DFC4-E hw 1.2
mod 3 WS-X6904-40G hw 1.0 fw 12.2(50r)SYL, DFC4-E hw 1.2
mod 5 VS-SUP2T-10G hw 1.6 fw 12.2(50r)SYS, PFC4 hw 1.1 & MSFC5 hw 1.6

Router B:
mod 1 WS-X6824-SFP hw 1.0 fw 12.2(18r)S1, DFC4-A hw 1.0
mod 2 WS-X6904-40G hw 1.0 fw 12.2(50r)SYL, DFC4-E hw 1.2
mod 3 WS-X6904-40G hw 1.0 fw 12.2(50r)SYL, DFC4-E hw 1.2
mod 5 VS-SUP2T-10G hw 1.4 fw 12.2(50r)SYS, PFC4 hw 2.0 & MSFC5 hw 1.5

... so the only difference is in Sup/PFC/MSFC; the line card revisions 
are the same in both boxes.

We did a full power down on Router A this morning, reseated all modules 
(SUP and LCs), but then after power on it got back into exactly the same 
state: software switching on exactly the same subinterfaces as before 
the reboot.
