I suspect the K4407 stamped into the tank is the design of the tank itself, not the flush mechanism.

If you have a black, hollow canister and a single-piece lever I believe that is officially a single-flush system. It works as you say, a quick release is about half the water in the tank and a longer release is the full tank, but it is not the official dual-flush mechanism.

The Kohler dual-flush mechanism has a two-part handle (offering two separate flushes) and a complicated, solid canister.

(at least according to the youtube DIY videos)
