The license notice (as seen in the Standard License Header field below) states which of these applies to the code in the file. The example in the exhibit to the license shows the license notice for the "or later" approach.

Likely copied from the actual "or later" page at: https://spdx.org/licenses/LGPL-2.1-or-later.html

But the file header example given correctly indicates no such clause.

So this looks like a simple cut-paste of the "Notes" section from the or-later variant.
