What would constitute the initial firmware? One of the updated three
files? Something that is stored on the chip itself?

I should have said "initial choice for firmware" that is based on the chip parameters, and yes that will be one of the three versions. The chip has only enough firmware on it to be able to upload the 802.11n firmware. Only the Realtek 802.11g devices (RTL8187) have on-board firmware.
