Rev. 2 code 49.2 maps to the same Rev. 2.1 class 49.2 Freight rail transport.
Official close match imported from NACE Rev. 2.1.
Low operational impact is expected, but systems should still store the target Rev. 2.1 version explicitly.
Confirm the target version field and update references where Rev. 2.1 is required.
