Non-verto has the clutch slave cylinder mounted horizontally pushing a long arm, verto is mounted on an angle pushing a short arm.

Ok, after 10 seconds of Googling, this is a verto type, notice the slave cylinder is bolted to a metal bracket on the face of the clutch cover at about a 45 degree angle and arm is about 5-6 cm long.

Pre-verto, (the slave cylinder is missing but bolts on to those two bosses on the top of the clutch housing and the arm is about 15cm long

Ok, so the answer to the first question is, "There's no way to tell, you'll have to strip it down".

Why do you ask Two Dogs?
