I just downloaded these pkg file from CRAN and get:

R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) -- "Sincere Pumpkin Patch"
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/R-3.3.2.pkg

R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)
Running under: OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

I had earlier today downloaded the version I get from r.att.research.com and got:

R version 3.3.2 RC (2016-10-26 r71594) -- "Sincere Pumpkin Patch"
https://r.research.att.com/mavericks/R-3.3-branch/R-3.3-branch-mavericks.pkg

R version 3.3.2 RC (2016-10-26 r71594)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)
Running under: OS X Yosemite 10.10.5



The 10-31 date matches the release data for the 3.3.2 source.
