No, you also should have the updated version. That change is valid for us machines from serial. 501 125 787. Have a look under the cover of the position from the diagnostic jack. If it`s on the left side of the air filter it`s the old version, if it`s on the right side of the air filter/carburetor you have the new one.
Do you have anymore details on this? Do you mean the fasteners are aluminum? Do you mean that the above parts were redesigned to be lighter? I can’t see the crank being aluminum.The MS 241 was already updated in 2014 and became 6.4oz lighter. Many different things were changed like aluminium screws for the crankcase, crankcase halves, crankshaft, muffler, carburetor and so on.
I have yet to hear of a replacement for the 241After the 441 the 241 was the next Mtronic release. It makes sense now the the 441 is long gone the 241 will get upgraded with a new model too. I highly doubt Stihl won't replace such a great selling much loved 40cc pro class saw. The 241-cm was BEST in its class without doubt, something lighter, faster and filled with updated tech will replace it I'm sure. Why would Stihl NOT replace this model?
FIXT346xp NE is the replacement for the 241 & 261.

346XP is an antique like me.
It was a very well liked saw, my brother has one and loves it, but I think they are leaving that class of saw to the top handle saws.
The 261 V-2 (current version) is very light.
