Hope all is well with the modding community! One of our dear members for whom I've done two Blackhawk Gladius mods asked me if I was up to the challenge to mess with a U2. I said sure!
Pouring over the threads from the OG U2 modder @Nitroz and trying EVERYTHING (including slightly heating the head with a propane torch with a leaky seal and almost blowing myself up) I finally got the head open with the rubber jaws in my vise and a strap wrench and cranking so hard I almost blew a blood vessel.
Now, I'm pretty sure it's the later 6V version but I'd like confirmation...
As for what to put in it, a lot of threads mention the MT-G2, but the LED itself is huge in relation to the hole in the reflector so I'm not thinking that's a good fit. I'm thinking of going with a XHP50.2.

If I hit the contacts with a volt meter when the light is on, it registers over 5V
An 18650 does not fit in the tube.
It has a coolish tint.
However, when I try to identify an SSC-P4, I look for the 4 contacts at the corners, and I don't see them on this one.
