For everyone how is in the same situation.
In our case a restart of awed with "service -ds nosync awed:restart" has pushed the new firmware to the connected APs!

Sure, SSH to XG then type 5 for "Device Management" and 3 "Advanced Shell".
Then type in command "awetool" then "Connect to an AP" and select an AP and enable SSH access.
Wait some seconds and do again "Connect to an AP" and select the same AP as before (! AP order can change).
If you are connected to AP it will automatically show you the current firmware.

Is there a way via CLI or web GUI (not Central) to confirm my APX devices have the updated firmware on them? The AP Firmware in the GUI shows 'Success' but that could be only one of my APs, as the other is on the remote end of a MESH network not directly connected to my network other than through MESH.

XG FW 19.5.1 Pattern "AP Firmware" updated from 11.0.020 to 11.0.021.
But all connected APs (APX320 & APX530) stay on firmware version 11.0.020 without doing a firmware update!
I did a reboot of one AP but no change.
