Is there any way to tell a rear disc vs. a rear drum prop valve?

Is there any way to tell a rear disc vs. a rear drum prop valve?

Just like the title, looking to see if there is a way to confirm it is rear disc just by looking at it. Also, does anyone know the pressure difference between the 1LE and non-1LE proportioning valves for rear discs?

Thanks
Jeff

You can't tell by just looking at them, the differences are all internal.

Well crap. OK, has anyone ever done any testing with the 1LE vs. non-1LE to see what the pressure difference was? Also, what visual differences are there internally? I'm just nervous about buying a used one that someone SAYS is from a disc car, installing it, then having a problem.
