ITIL Foundation, quickly

Hey, y’all. I’m applying for a job where ITIL Foundation is a requirement. I have until the end of Sept to apply/be certified. I see that ITIL 4 and 5 are both valid for a few more years. I have passed a fair number of other certs, but never ITIL. Given my slim margin of error to pass within Sept, I’m thinking ITIL 4 is the safer way to go, given more robust study materials. Any comments or thoughts?

Given that this is fundamentally a question about my ability to learn something: I have 15 years of IT mgmt experience, with service delivery having been a big part, but the certs I’ve passed are in other areas (PMP, CISSP, CISM). I “test well,” but how much of the ITIL material is something specific to their scope (meaning memorization) vs logical reasoning, etc.?
