I can remeber from recce sessions, how someone always pointed out, smart-aleck like, a differentiation detail,, only discernible from close up, when in reality, we were observing the target from 1/4 mile stand-off and 400' height. Eg, the Mk 1 upper thrunge gusket has two rivets here, while the Mk 2 lower plunge gasket has 4. - the only way to tell the difference from a Soviet Kashin destroyer Mk1 and a Mark 1.002.
