RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

ah..this should be tab shows ext3/ext4
So, found this related commit: http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/gio/glocalfile.c?id=25ff8ee7486c7bdf1612d3554fc1d7d91daedfa6
And tested myself: created an empty file, called mke2fs on it, and got this output:
> $ tune2fs -l test.bin
> tune2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011)
> ...
> Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53
> Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic)
> Filesystem features: ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype sparse_super
> ...
So there's no journal and plain mount command autodetects ext2. But it looks like the filesystem is indeed ext3 without journalling (ext2 mode?). Pure ext2 filesystem should have the 0xEF51 magic number. Could you please check on your side?

This is just a partition type. And udisks is not used for file:// URI scheme.
And that's probably the culprit here - we show filesystem type information based on physical filesystem data, not showing the actual mode the fs is mounted as. As long as other filesystems use different magic numbers for their versions, this is only the case for ext{2,3,4,5?}.
> $ mount
> /tmp/test.bin on /tmp/te type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl)> $ gvfs-info -f file:///tmp/te
> filesystem::type: ext3/ext4
Could you also please output of this command?
