Well, the Kenkyusha site labels it as "新和英大辞典第５版".

As I mentioned earlier, there are corrections made to the "第５版" in
the online version. For example they corrected a typo last year, after
I pointed out that in the 下座/げざ entry they had 噺子方 in sense 2
instead of the correct 囃子方.

I quite disagree, Kenkyusha cites 新和英大辞典第５版 and
ＫＯＤ追加語彙 as distinct sources. So should we.
