Default How can I tell a dual core radiator from a single core?

This might sound silly but I just bought this radiator for $55 for a swap and was told its a dual core which is what I need, to me they both look the same - how can I tell that I have a dual core radiator?

The middle row on a single is about 1/2", on a dual its about 1 1/2" - 2" thick...

open up the radiator cap and look inside w/ a flash light. If there are 2 rows of holes, it's a dualcore.
