Typically the data plate (visible on the end of the unit in photo 2) will identify the part number and a description of whether it's a CVR and/or FDR.
The high-visibility legend FLIGHT DATA RECORDER DO NOT OPEN / ENREGISTREUR DE VOL NE PAS OUVRIR is there purely for ease of identification by a recovery team, to ensure that it is handled appropriately.
