Some say the leaves are different, some say no. Some say the cones look different, some say no. Personally, I gave up trying to identify the mystery rhizome someone gave me 2 years ago. Once you get familiar with the taste of your hop, it really doesn't matter what actual variety is anyway.
If you are unsure, I recommend making a SMaSH with a either 2-row or pilsner and a ton of your hops added fresh, and at the end of the boil. That will give you a good idea of what kind of hops they are and how well they grew under your conditions.

Better yet, just let them grow and when you harvest it will be pretty easy to smell the difference in the cones.
