No, that's not the case, the SSL/TLS alert protocol engine in OpenSSL
uses the same code for all versions since SSL 3.0. The "sslv3" here
covers anything newer than SSL 2.0. Similarly, on the wire:
0300 SSLv3
0301 TLS 1.0
0302 TLS 1.1
0303 TLS 1.2
0304 TLS 1.3
The alert subprotocol has not changed substantially across this family
of SSL/TLS protocols.
