You mean besides the build date?
The series 7 didnt have much of a difference between the series 6.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_RX-7
"Series 7 (1996–1998) included minor changes to the car. Updates included a simplified vacuum routing manifold and a 16-bit ECU allowing for increased boost which netted an extra 10 PS (7 kW). In Japan, the Series 7 RX-7 was marketed under the Mazda brand name. The Series 7 was also sold in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Series 7 RX-7s were produced only in right-hand-drive configuration. "
I agree though, post pics.
Also, you can google to

All JDM Rx7s from 1992 to 1996 were made as efini's.
After 1996 they were produced in Japan as Mazdas when the Efini , Autozam and Eunos were consolidated under the mazda brand.
A 1996 rx7 will have the Whale Tail spoiler. 1996 was the first year of the whale tail which continued on to 1999 where they changed to what we know as the '99 tail.
