Last ditch effort if you cannot tell.  Install the product from scratch in a 
new Global/Tlib/Dlib and go from there.

Sometimes it is easier to rebuild your SMP/e environment from scratch that 
spend months trying to figure out which one is correct.

Then roll out the new zone and replace the current libraries.  Once you are up 
and running, delete anything no longer needed.  Create an INSTLIB library for 
the product with Notes.

So if my SMPE library names are   PROD.QMF.**    I create a PROD.QMF.INSTLIB  
or a PROD.QMF.VxRy.INSTLIB   I keep all the notes and JCL used to implement the 
product in there.

BTW If you need to apply a DB2 PTF, I would expect it to be applied first to a 
test SMP/E environment so that it can be checked out on a test LPAR - before 
then applying it in a production SMP/E one etc. Can you not determine which are 
your test and production CSIs?
