How do you tell if you have a viscous LSD ? [4agze]

Hello,
How could you tell if a 4AGZE gearbox had a viscous LSD one or not?
The test I have seen involves hoisting the car into the air, with it in gear, then manually turn one wheel back and forth, the other wheel should follow after an initial 'clunk' - I think this is a test for checking for a 'clutch type' LSD .
A viscous differential needs a speed differential to do any LSD work. Is the 'hand speed' test sufficient? Or would the viscous LSD equipped gearbox just seem like an open differential?
On a lone gearbox, of unknown origin, can you look down the gearboxes drive shaft hole and see anything that would give away a viscous LSD?
