Hmm . . . Looking . . .

=
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/revision-co=
des/README.md

reports:

Code	Model	Revision	RAM	Manufacturer
. . .
9020e0	3A+	1.0	512MB	Sony UK
. . .
a02082	3B	1.2	1GB	Sony UK
. . .
a020d3	3B+	1.3	1GB	Sony UK
. . .
a22082	3B	1.2	1GB	Embest
. . .

. . .
a52082	3B	1.2	1GB	Stadium
. . .
a22083	3B	1.3	1GB	Embest
. . .


So: no 3B or 3B+ with 512MB but a 3A+ with 512MB.

But the firmware change that caused the question
in the first place was:

firmware: board-info: Fix memsize on 3B+

so no 512MB RPi3* would match. Looks like
the existing reports cover everything for
3B+. (Sorry for the noise.)
