Hi Mani,
No, not really. I was never able to locate the 'gpl_version' file in the SDK, nor anything even similar. As a workaround we ended up changing the 'branding' string (as per the SDK example) for version identification. Not ideal but better than nothing.
I found the SDK wouldn't build on my current Linux box (MX Linux 19.2), at least not without a lot of retrospective changes. Eventually I dug out a discarded 32 bit PC with a noisy HDD, gave it a new SSD and installed the recommended distro on that. Takes a while, but does the job without breaking anything on my main machine.
