This is the way Apple has suggested to do this, and it gives a nice result
like 1041 for Tiger 10.4.1

set the hexData to system attribute "sysv"
set hexString to {}
repeat 4 times
    set hexString to ((hexData mod 16) as string) & hexString
    set hexData to hexData div 16
end repeat
set the OS_version to the hexString as string

This is extra to see the result:
display dialog OS_version buttons
