I can understand the requirement for stability.

The version.h file should have been created when the kernel was built.
For 1.2.13 it's fairly easy to recreate.  It contains only

#define UTS_RELEASE "1.2.13"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 0x010213
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
