Seeming that app "Finder" & akua's "path to creator" call to (file id)'s
newest version.

Not so scientific, but works for many apps:

tell application "Finder" to set GConverterFolder to [opt+L]
container of (application file id "GKON")

set theApps to the entries in GConverterFolder [opt+L]
whose creators are in "GKON" whose types are in "APPL"

repeat with theApp in theApps
if theApp's last character = "x" then
set GConverterX to theApp as text
else
set GConverterOS9 to theApp as text
end if
end repeat

{GConverterX, GConverterOS9}
