Before that it says: "Each version is given a distinguishing
version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this
License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that version
or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation"
IOW, such rules will aply if no version has been specified or if
has the "any later version" addon. Which is not the case: I can
read "GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 2, June 1991".
That refers to the version of the GPL licence. That is specific to
the licence document and distinct from any text where "the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it ..."
(one suggestion for doing so is given: include a Preamble).
