What does (copied from another laptop screen by hand, typos possible ;)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
readlink -f /var/guix/profiles/per-user/{$USER,root}/current-guix/manifest|xargs grep -m1 -A1 guix
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
get you? Anything useful?

On my other laptop, it got me (again copied/...elided from other screen)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/gnu/store/.../manifest: (("guix"
/gnu/store/.../manifest-   "87850c0"
--
/gnu/store/.../manifest: (("guix"
/gnu/store/.../manifest-   "0.16.0"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can see that's ancient, so IDK if the same command will work for you.
"guix -V" there still shows 0.16.0 (which version should that show, BTW?)

I don't know how these versions correspond to what pull creates,
but zimoun is a whiz on that stuff, so maybe he will chime in :)
(I Cc'd him to raise the probability :)
