It's easy. The 4 speed boxes are shorter, with a longer 'neck' on the input shaft to compensate. The 5 speed boxes literally have an extra section for 5th gear bolted in the middle.

I'm sure there is a plate on the box, but I couldn't tell you where or what it says.

Do you have a Haynes manual? That has a picture of a 5 speed box in it, and if you already know what a 4 speed looks like, I'm sure you'll notice the radical difference quite easily!
