Is the SP3a the most recent MSDE distribution

I ask this question because the sp3a version I have contains a merge module -
atl.msm - which is dated (modified date) 5/14/03 and is 76KB in size whereas
the "atl.msm" that is issued with VB6 SP6 contains the same merge module but
is dated Mar 14, 2004 and is 87KB in size.
Is this simply because VB6 has issued a more recent atl? If so, when will
the MSDE be brought up to date? Or better yet, since I am distributing the
atl.msm with my setup package, can I safely replace the one in the MSDE with
the more recent version?
Regards,
Jamie

MSDERelA is based on the service pack 3a of SQL Server, which is the most
recent complete distribution...
