Sounds much like 
const unsigned int get_rrd_version(const rrd_t * const rrd) {
  return rrd.stat_head->version;
}
const bool is_rrd_version(const rrd_t*const rrd, const unsigned ver) {
  return get_rrd_version(rrd) == ver;
}

i.e.
if (is_rrd_version (rrd, 4)) {
  info.u_val = ....
}
or the like.
Just a thought..
