How to identify an NV5600 and G56

Where do I look for identity tag or another way to tell an NV5600 from a G56?

The NV5600 body is cast iron and will have a rust color and an "NVG" embossed on the side of it.

I second the shift pattern thing. Thats how I checked them when I bought mine. Right and up for reverse is NV, Left and down is G56. G56 is tuff to get through the gate to reverse also, its got a show nuff spring in it.
