Can someone tell me what motherboard I have??

I bought this MoBo on Amazon to replace my burnt out original GT2560v3-0 that came in my A10M I'd purchased back in Jan2019. At the time I received it I knew it looked a bit odd but I figured that's just how they were now. Now I see there is a GT2560v3-1 out on the market that has many similar features to what I have but mine claims to be the v3-0. It's never behaved 100% correctly like the original v3-0 (ie the part cooling fan pins don't work & I'm not sure if PLR works since it's missing the supporting battery, among many other quirks). I'm way past my return deadline so sending it back to Amazon is out of the question. I have the pinout schematic for the v3-0 but haven't' been able to find one for the v3-1; therefore, I can neither compare them nor configure adaptations.
Hopefully, someone can give me an educated guess as to which mobo I have in my machine!

Hi, according to the picture, your motherboard is V3.0, you need to replace the same motherboard

I can see what my board says it is. My question is why does it look so different from my original? It looks more like a 3.1 despite saying its a 3.0. Many of the components on the board are different, and shouldn't that affect functionality? That's why it would be useful to see a pinout/schematic for the 3.1. Why is Geeetech being so secretive with it?
