Identifying RMR Type 1 from Type 2?

[Bruce in WV]

What are the external identifying characteristics that allow you to tell an RMR Type 1 from a Type 2?

Reading the data sheet at the hot link, it looks like the only visible difference between Type 1 and Type 2 RMRs is how the battery compartment is laid out. A buyer of a gun with an RMR already mounted has to dismount the RMR to verify which Type it is. Is that correct?

That is my understanding.

You could try calling Trijicon with the serial number. Not sure if they'd tell you or not.

Odd that none of the external markings would help.
They're like newborne puppies: you don't know what you've got 'til you turn them over!
