Lede shows Version 1 and 2, u should check the label on ur router which 
version it is.
If it is to big, it won't fit on the router. As said before 4MB devices 
are not recommended.

  I got several files in firmwares/ with

factory.bin is first time flashing openwrt, sysupgrade is upgrading an 
openwrt.

Feel free to alter the script on github, help is always welcome.
