You could try running the strings command on the binaries. Nearly every
program I've seen on a Linux box (except for trivial scripts) will print
out it's name and version in response to being run from the CLI with the
"-v" switch. Also, many have a little mini-help which comes up with "-h".
Those strings are probably stored in the binary someplace, and strings
will find those and print them out.
