Overall problem: I'm trying to debug a problem in the syntax highlighting

I want to know if there is some variable that is set by the syntax
apparatus that tells me either or both of:
 
    1) What version of sh.vim was used?
    2) The full path of the used sh.vim file?
 

If in doubt I'm inspecting (according to :help) what Vim shows me
when I'm typing ':set rtp'. There's a couple directories and mine
shows (for and on a Unix system) '/usr/share/vim/vim73' so my 'sh'
default syntax file would be '/usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/sh.vim'.

But there's more directories shown in that path list that appear
before the '/usr/share' path, and I have also a local directory
'~/.vim/after/syntax/sh/...' where some changes to the default
behavior for 'sh' are defined.
