I think iLife did come with the education macs. I did some tech support
for someoen with an eMac and it definitely had iLife. I suppose it is
possible she purchased it separately, but I kind of doubt it based on
here reluctance to buy a 20' Ethernet cable to eliminated her WiFi
issues.

Although, to be fair, this was considered a feature on the educational
models.

My recollection is that the educational 21" iMac spanned both of these.

You can plug either any or nearly any serial number in to Apple to get
exact details on your machine.

<https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do>

Hmm.. Never mind, I thought that page used to give more info.

The third digit is the last digit of the manufacture year, and the 4th
and 5th are the week. So my serial number starts W8924 which means it
was made in 2009 in week 24 (June 8-14). The 'W8' indicates this was
build in Shanghai (or at least close enough to ship out of Shanghai).
