COPYING is just the license text and does not distinguish between a particular
version of license or "any later versions". The paragraph Simon quoted also
does not solve this question, it only says "If the Library specifies a version
number ..."

So please take a look at the headers, they do specify a version number. All of
them read:

 * This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
 * modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
 * License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
 * version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

So LGPLv2+ is the correct license tag. You should always rely on the source.
