you can tell by the shape of the belt cover.
compare the shape of the outlines in the pic you've posted and you'll soon see which you have.

if there's no belt cover on it, then you can easily look down the side and see what arrangement of rollers you have.
also, the belts are different. one has square teeth and the other has round teeth.
can't remember which is which though really.
