You won't be able to tell any difference just looking at the outside of the trans. You have to tear it down (partially) to see if there is an LSD in there or not...

IIRC on an "open" diff you will be able to see from one side if of the cv shaft input thru to the other. On an LSD you can't.

Also, if it is open and you spin one side the other will spin the opposite, an LSD will both spin in the same direction. Normally this is done with the wheel on and the axle installed, but I don't see why you cant do it by just sticking a cv shaft in there and turning it. You might have to put a little resistance to the other side, but I'm not positive.
