Though the commit number is indeed correct.
I figured out this mystery .. >From the org-fixup function in mk/org-fixup.el, I saw that the "git describe .." command is used to derive the Org version with git hash. That bakes in the last tag + number of commits seen since that tag in the org-version returned string. Turns out that I was simply doing a pull of the main branch and building Org all this time. I wasn't fetching all the tags! I saw the version as "release_9.5-364-gde022e". That meant that "release_9.5" happened to be the last fetched tag in my local repo back then. Fix was simple.. I had to do "git fetch --all" before building Org.
