    "id": "D4990684-58CE-4FAB-9B87-D6C49E74F298",
    "lastModifiedBy": {
    "user": {
        "id": "CE251278-EF9E-4FE5-833C-1D89EEAE68E0",

OneDrive does not preserve the complete metadata for previous versions of a file.

When your app retrieves the list of available versions for a file, a DriveItemVersion resource is returned that provides the available information about the specific version.
