I apologise - I appear to have lost the plot and simply got too confused.
I think this is what was sought;
"
bret@bret-Aspire-V3-772-Ubuntu-12-04LTS:~$ apt-cache policy nvidia-331
nvidia-331:
Installed: 331.113-0ubuntu0.0.0.3

Similarly, obtaining and sending that, was apparently erroneous, with
what I believe was sought, was instead thus;
