The safe method to determine which Servicepack on which .NET Runtime is installed is - looking to the file version of one of the core assemblies inside the installed framework-folder. While there is no real tool for that at moment, users made their own. For example see : DotNet VersionCheck Utility, or Aron Astebners setup verification tool, where you do not have an overview and must manually check all frameworks and must agree with license, but proof against a bunch of files.
Here is one possibility from my side, where you have a solid overwiew of all .NET versions.:
For information material for current servicepacks about .NET Framework see also here.
