SSL Record Layer vs SSLv3 Record Layer

$

Hi,

I have two captures, one of an successful SSL handshake, and one of an unsuccessful SSL handshake (server never responded with server hello but instead sent a FIN,ACK).

The successful one displays in wireshark protocol column as SSLv3, and in the decoding window shows like so:

Secure Socket Layer
    SSLv3 Record Layer: Handshake Protocol: Client Hello
        Content Type: Handshake (22)
        Version: SSL 3.0 (0x0300)
        Length: 117
        Handshake Protocol: Client Hello

The unsuccessful one shows in wireshark protocol column as merely SSL (not SSLv3), and in the decoding window as:

Secure Socket Layer
    SSL Record Layer: Handshake Protocol: Client Hello
        Content Type: Handshake (22)
        Version: SSL 3.0 (0x0300)
        Length: 117
        Handshake Protocol: Client Hello

Both have SSL3.0 in the version field, so what subtle difference is wireshark detecting that makes it display as SSL rather than SSLv3 ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
