Hello Markus,
Thanks for your interest.
By SRTM1 we mean the 1 arcsecond version of SRTM. As far as we know, it comes in only one version.
About USGS SRTM versions, see
http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/MEaSUREs/SRTM/SRTMGL1.003
https://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/What_are_these.pdf
https://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/Documentation/SRTM_Topo.pdf
the latter one states that “there is a difference between the data distributed via ftp from the Land Processes
Distributed Active Archive Center [now https://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/], and those available from the EROS Data Center”
I am not sure if this still holds true. Following the EarthExplorer links
https://lta.cr.usgs.gov/SRTMVF
https://lta.cr.usgs.gov/SRTM1Arc
it is not clear which versions these are. I guess the non-void filled version of the EarthExplorer is the subsampled version 2.1, the void filled version and the global 1 arc sec version are SRTM version 3. Just a guess, if in doubt, ask USGS.
We could make it more clear during the revision.
That would avoid confusion. For example, there is a 1 arc second version of version 2.1

Hello all,
Open-access global DEMs like SRTM are a staple in our GIS community.
Last year the JAXA released a new product, the ALOS World 3d 30m
(AW3D30).
Using GRASS and itzï we’ve carried out an assessment of AW3D30 from
the point of view of flood modelling, and compared it to lidar, SRTM
and ASTER.
Very interesting study! I have a question about SRTM: in the paper you write that you used SRTM version 1, but SRTM version 1 is practically not used since version 2.1 has been made available. Since 2013, SRTM version 3 has been available:
http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/MEaSUREs/SRTM/SRTMGL1.003
SRTM version 3 is also the default for r.in.srtm.region.

AW3D30 is indeed a very interesting product, and I thought that GRASS
users could be interested in our results:
