This got resolved.
I had no idea this was a MIPS ARCH and assumed ARM.
Part of the issue is that I was not able to find an archived specs/info page on this older router.
I made an incorrect assumption and was trying to update off of ARM firmware both from Winbox and netinstall.
And of course didn't get any errors, just got "no results" when trying to upgrade.
Thanks for the bootloader pointer.
Everything worked so it's probably "new enough" but I will also go though the process of updating the bootloader.
This is purely educational at this point.
I'm not using the router in any kind of actual production environment or service.
