What is the current firmware for the 2nd gen's? (as of today: 10 May 2020)

My 2nd gen's show "2A364", while my Pro's show "2D15".

I understood that "2C54" was pulled from the 2nd gen's, so what actually is the latest version you can get on the 2nd gen's right now?
(the internet is awash with mixed info, and there doesn't seem to be an official Apple page giving them!)

Left them plugged in for an hour and both sets finally updated! 😁
When you say 'left them plugged in' what exactly do you mean?

Were they left with the lid open so they remained connected to a nearby Apple device to get the update or what (closing the lid disconnects them from getting the update from nearby Bluetooth connected Apple device, surely?)

Nope, I just plugged them in (charging with lightning cable) and closed the lid and when I checked on them ~1hr later they had updated.

Did check on them after about 5 minutes and no luck so sometime between that time and an hour they updated. One with wired case and one wireless. iPhone was in same room and newest iOS 13.4.1.
