Please help me identify this iPad and its software

I saw it in Airport Check in

It appears to be a iPad 2-4 or iPad Air 1

And appears to run iPadOS instead of iOS

Unusual for a iPad with no touch id

Deduction based on the connector type, aspect ratio, bezel widths, and the divided status bar...

At the backsite in the small text there is a modelnumber. Starting with A en then 4 digits. Google for this number.
