Default Visual difference between a 3 channel and 4 channel 10 bolt?

looking to trade a local guy for his 10 bolt with 410s for my 10bolt with 342s.

he said it was swapped from a car with tc, so its a 4channel, but his car does not have tc.

how can i visually tell that it is a 4 channel not a non tc 3 channel diff?

thanks!

4 channel = 2 speed sensors, one behind each wheel
3 channel = 1 speed sensor, located at the top of the main center housing.
