How to retrieve ops-agent version using gcloud

[tacoma50]

This command only returns the ops-agent-policy, not the actual  ops-agent version:

gcloud compute instances describe --zone=us-central1-a testVM1 --project myTESTproject --format="value(labels.goog-ops-agent-policy)"

Returns:  v2-x86-template-1-4-0

But on testVM1 the ops-agent version is: 2.53.0

Also, it is my understanding that two different VMs can have the same ops-agent-policy but have different ops-agent version installed.

Is there a way to get ops-agent version  using gcloud?
Or is there a way to find it locally on the server?
