how to identify jdm/usdm engine

how could I tell if I have a jdm or usdm engine? Is there anything external I can just look at to identify which one I have? I have 121k miles on my FD and I was told that a jdm swap was done by the owner before the one I purchased it from.

If they bought/kept the accessories (i.e. just the core wasn't replaced).

Mahjik - is right,if they used just the block and installed all the US accessories then you wouldn't be able to tell.
