I just bought the 13" model and I ran this command:

ioreg -lw0 | grep "EDID" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

and all i got was

@.`0 6
Color LCD

And then when I checked for the hash of the EDID, I get

"IODisplayEDID" = <00ffffffffffff00061018a00000000030160104a51d1278026fb1a7554c9e250c505400000001010101010101010101010101010101e26800a0a0402e60302036001eb31000001a000000fc00436f6c6f72204c43440a2020200000001000000000000000000000000000000000001000000000000000000000000000000063>

which going through a converter is just

@.`0 6
Color LCD

Seems like Apple removed the ability for us to check for differences.
 
I ran that command on my new 15" and I got the model number... strange.
