Default is there a way to tell what cams you have just by looking at

I have been sepaking to the previous owner of my cossie (i bought it from a trader) who says the cossie has had some cams installed, he hasnt confirmed yet if they were standard replacments or upratted etc, but can you tell just by looking at all? and also if the cams were only say 2yrs old max, should they still look newish at all?
