How do I map a model simulink version obtatained with Simulink.M​DLInfo('my​model') to a MATLAB version (e.g. R2021b)

When I call Simulink.MDLInfo('mymodel') to get a Simulink version number with which my model was created, I would like to have a reliable mapping to a MATLAB version (e.g. R2021b, R2020a, etc ) that corresponds to the Simulink version returned (e.g. 9.11...). Is there an API for this, or a data structure that is available for programmatic use by an .m script?

It looks like Simulink.MDLInfo() will give you 'ReleaseName'. I am running this in R2018b on an example model 'f14' and an old model of mine.
