Williams generally has a white dot on the dipstick, but this only relates to the size of the sump so some valvers also have a white marking.
As far as external differences go, they are very limited, the manifold is tubular instead of cast, the starter motor has a smaller body due to the extra webbing on the block and of course the engine number plaque has F7R stamped onto it.

Where is the number stamped and what does the F16 I.E. stand for on the plastic cover as this seams to be on both.
