Visual difference between GXE and SE Brake Master Cylinders?

I know that the master cylinders in a GXE non-ABS and an SE non-ABS are different, but can you tell just by looking at them? If so, can you do it with them on the car?

Thanks

looking at pictures in my 92 fsm book ,
looks like the model with abs has a skinny circle shaped body(1 circle on front)

and the non abs has an extra bulge running on the side of the body(2 circles on front)
which is called a dual proportioning valve

the body's the metal part under the plastic fluid tank,search parts sites images?

Looking in my 93 FSM, the specs point to perhaps four different m/c. The skinny one would be only for an SE with ABS. The other three have their proportioning valves on the side of the m/c vs. the LSVs in the rear of an SE w/ABS. A different m/c each for GXE w/o ABS, for GXE w/ABS, and one for SE w/o ABS.

So... back to my original question...
