AX5400 RAX50v2 Bridgeing
I just got the AX5400 a couple of hours ago. I specifically got it for the wireless bridging capabilities. There was nothing in the listing or on the packaging to indicate that this was the RAX50v2...

What does the label on the router say? If it doesn't say V[something] it is V1.
Or are the they firmware compatible and I can reflash the RAX50v2 with the RAX50 firmware?
Usually, no.
Netgear provides the same manual for each version. That maybe a mistake, given Netgear's performance on documentation. That has a section Enable bridge mode.
There are rarely significant feature changes between hardware versions.
Which firmware version do you have on the router. ("The latest" isn't reliable, only the number will tell.) Updates have been known to mend things that were bust in the original release.
