How do I check the version of the Sentinel-2 product for L1C processing in Sen2Cor?

How do I check the version of the Sentinel-2 product for L1C to L2A processing in Sen2Cor?

The home page says that different versions of Sen2Cor support different versions of the L1C products:

Sen2Cor_v2.9 is the latest release supporting Sentinel-2 L1C data generated with the current (14.6) and previous (14.5 and 14.2) Products Specification Document, as input.

Sen2Cor_v2.5.5 is the previous release and it is needed if the user intends to process old Sentinel-2 L1C data generated with the Products Specification Document older than 14.2 and not reprocessed by ESA.

I found information that the name of the scene contains a baseline, such as S2A_MSIL1C_20180227T071831_N0206_R006_T41VNJ_20180227T084612, but which PSD version refers to this baseline?

This information is also contained in the file MTD_MSIL1C.xml in the line PROCESSING_BASELINE>02.06</PROCESSING_BASELINE>
