Nope....the capstan MDA has exactly the same controls and test points.  While the capstan MDA module is slightly larger than the headwheel module, this picture doesn't show that, and it doesn't show the module name which is just above the top of the pic.  So the only way to tell the difference from what you can see here is the numbering of the contols and test points.  The capstan is 100 series and the headwheel is 200 series, so this is indeed the headwheel MDA.

Thanks to everybody that replied either on or off list.  I'll try something different next week!

    Hi Don:

    Well, there's a 50/50 chance of getting this right.  That's why I asked how you can tell.

        I have to make these harder!

        Tim is basically correct, although "non-intersync" would  be more 
        appropriate than "pre-intersync".  There were many (I suspect most) of these 
        sold in this configuration after Intersync was available.

        But now for bonus points, who knows which MDA it is and how can you tell?
