From GarminDevice.xml of my 3790 converted to 3490 (note HWID is 1376):
<PartNumber>006-B1376-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>750</SoftwareVersion>
<Description>nüvi 3790</Description>
From original 3790 (note HWID is 1101):
<PartNumber>006-B1101-00</PartNumber>
<SoftwareVersion>500</SoftwareVersion>

Neil you are right. I know this and I posted about this in some of my previous posts:

I was mistaken by WebUpdater also recognizes a 3760, is there a method to "correct" this issue?
Webupdater recognizes as 3490 but indicates it's a 3760.
