Default How to tell (AUTO)B16 Cams from Manual?

How to tell if you have (AUTO) B16 cams or reg?
I have a set of B16 cams from a manual head and a set of auto B16 cams and I mixed them up. How do I tell them apart???

I was not aware that manual b16's had different cams than the auto b16's.
If you cant tell visually, then is there really a difference?

there shouldnt be any difference in them. because a b16 is a b16.
