With a non-booting system, 
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=centos is one way, but you 
could also go to the CentOS mirrors and find out by looking at the version 
number embedded in its RPM package.

I doubt there are any non-Grub devs who could manage this except on a 
normally running system. Grub 2 documentation is about as bad as bad gets. 
OTOH, the trouble you are likely having is one of the problems Grub 2 was 
designed to avoid (mixing up of HD order/disagreement on device order between 
boot loader and kernel).
