Is it possible to flash IBM I/O board (3738) x3850 x6 to be compatible with lenovo (6241) x3850 x6?

The 00FN707 IBM x3850 x6 board came to replace the board in the Lenovo x3850 x6 server. This board looks and works identical to the replacement board, except for the FRU PN and release date (2014, not 2015). When IMM is launched, it turns out that the type of machine is 3837, not 6241. As a result, a processor sensor error and after updating with an official IBM update, a compatibility error with the Storage I / O book module got out instead. Does anyone know how to solve this problem by flashing this unit. I immediately clarify the officials do not provide the IMM 2, SDA and UEFI images themselves, only capsules for updating some separate part of the already loaded software. Apparently this was done in order to protect their software, and there is no way to access it programmatically. Probably the only way to do this this is to solder the chips and remove the firmware (no one will solder such an expensive board here). With the help of a miracle, the SOP8 clip cannot be removed, since the two legs are closed and separated during the launch process, somehow by hardware.
This is what this miracle looks like on lenovo x3850 x6
