Hello, John.

Your Bugzilla instance should show its version on the front page.

Failing that, you should have a Bugzilla/Config.pm file which contains
the version as a Perl variable. Over time, this became a constant and
moved to Bugzilla/Constants.pm so feel free to look around.

For the record, you can clone the git repository on github and go to the
bugzilla-2.20 tag. This will give you the corresponding source code.

Contact me if this isn't feasible. I'm pretty sure I have the source
tarball somewhere on my drive.

Yes, the newer version will handle any steps that need to be done.
See https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/5.0/installing/upgrading.html
for the gory details.
