I recently bought what I am told is an Ender 3 clone. It is a CTC model and has v1-5 written in the bottom corner and comes with a Marlin v1 firmware. But I have no idea what board it is.

When I send command M115, I get

FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin V1; Sprinter/grbl mashup for gen6 
FIRMWARE_URL:http://www.mendel-parts.com 
PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0 
MACHINE_TYPE:CTC 3D 
EXTRUDER_COUNT:1 
UUID:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"

Can anybody help me identify this board so I can upgrade the firmware to Marlin 2 in the hopes of getting it to work with Octoprint, and all the safety features that come with the new firmware (such as thermal runaway protection).

This printer controller board looks exactly like an Anet controller board. These also have a v1.5 version:

Your board misses the "Anet" branding, but includes the 1.5 version designation. Your board is probably customized with a different silkscreen (ink layer that identifies components and other information) on PCBs (printed circuit boars). Rebranding is pretty common in electronics.
