To answer your easiest question first, to determine the version of running software from the UI, go to System>Configuration. That said, you are running something in the 10.1 or 10.2 branches, as that's the only versions for which the LTM VE is available.
You haven't said yet what the client you used to make the request(s) is. Is it a browser-based client configured to pipeline requests?
You also haven't said what type of virtual server you are using, and this can make a significant difference in behavior. Performance(HTTP) virtual servers impose some SNAT and OneConnect behavior when configured.
You could probably force the one session per one request behavior by using an iRule to load balance HTTP requests. Examples abound.
