You don't derive it. It never changes.

No, it was not an error. AFAIK, the sources file should not change 
names, unless you do a condense sources.

IIRC, prior to the appearance of SqueakV41.sources, the sources file was 
only condensed on a full release (i.e. SqueakV5.sources should have been 
next), not on a point release. Somehow, a decision was made to do the 
condense on the 4.1 release, probably because the changes file got too 
big (and there used to be (still is?), a limit on the size of the 
changes file).

The .sources files was packaged with the all in one release, and 
sometimes with the VM. IIRC, the releases only ever included the 
.image/.changes. You either already had the .sources file installed from 
before, or you were able to download it by itself.

James is correct that there's usually a .sources file. But that does not 
mean there is supposed to be a SqueakV44.sources file.
