It's very often the case: the COPYING or License file provides the
license text for a given version of the GPL license, and the code
itself precises whether it's only this version, or this version or
later. And since the FSF recommends using the "or later" wording, many
projects do this.

In this case, the <pkg>_LICENSE should really be GPLv3+, because that's
what the source code says.
