how to recognize the QGIS version from the GUI ???

I use OSGeo4W64 v2 and have installed three versions of QGIS:

1. QGIS 3.22.5 LTR
2. QGIS 3.24.1
3. QGIS dev

how to understand from the GUI which version I am using?
for the dev, it's easy, a code appears at the top left, but for 3.22 or 3.24 it's impossible to distinguish them.

Therefore, I ask you to add, as for the dev, the version number used in the other in the GUI - QGIS 3.22.5-2

Even in the windows taskbar, the icons are all the same, it is impossible to recognize the version

I agree with and support the request. It would be very useful.
Also, just to integrate it, I add that it is possible to get the QGIS version on the GUI title bar with a simple python startup file saved in the folder ...\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\

from qgis.utils import iface
from qgis.core import QgsExpressionContextUtils

def customize():
    version = QgsExpressionContextUtils.globalScope().variable('qgis_version')
    title = iface.mainWindow().windowTitle()
    iface.mainWindow().setWindowTitle('{} | {}'.format(title,version))

iface.initializationCompleted.connect(customize)

I face similar issues when using different QGIS profiles, something like a different taskbar icon for each profile would be a very nice feature, like how it is done in the Chrome browser.

This is a wontfix in my opinion -- the version numbers were removed by design. See 490f5f0

A plugin would be the ideal way to address this need.

Slight tongue-in-cheek, you can recognize the QGIS version from the GUI by going to help > about

Maybe leave the regular release the same, but for the LTR release, have "Project Name - QGIS LTR"

I developed a small plugin that allows to customize the title bar with the version (name or number), profile name, commit sha, etc. You could check it out. https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/custom_titlebar/
