The CAB report shows the version of the entire driver bundle. This driver bundle would include drivers for multiple devices of which only one is applicable to the device on 7040 that you have mentioned. So there might be version differences between the report (which is the bundle) and the individual driver component deployed/installed on the machine.
The CABs have a specific development and test cycle which starts after a new driver is available on the web. Hence there would always be a slight difference (upwards of 1 month) in the drivers carried on the CAB and one available online.
In DCU, we update the drivers/firmwares on our Catalog every 2 weeks - so this gets updated much faster and customers can do individual updates based on newer driver changes. But CABs would not change as frequently.
The CABs aren't really up to date to be honest. I wouldn't 100% rely on these. It's ok installing drivers however as noticed some of these aren't actually the ones listed in the report.
