Is there some easy way to detect if it is a 8096 or 8296?

The model numbers are very confusing indeed. The CBM II or B series was
also known as the CBM 500, 600 and 700 series. But I guess there
weren't any CBM 600, just 610 (B128-LP) and 620 (B256-LP).
For what it is worth, I also have a CBM 720. I mostly have
8032-compatibles. Two rounded ones (CBM 200 and 220) and two
box-shaped ones (8032 and a SuperPET 9000). Then I have a couple
of B128s (with 110-volt power supply). The 8032 contains some
expansion board that I haven't been able to identify.
