Easiest and most definate accurate way is to take a pic of the inside and the external case and put it on here.

L8 will have no fixing lugs on the sides and will have a white mixture screw
L6 will have the fixing lugs and also a white screw

Like Stu says to be 100% deffo as someone may have removed the lugs post a pic of the internals
