If it now has an MLS head gasket plus shim you can tell by feeling with the tip of a finger for the shim's telltale tab. You will find a bit of it protruding ever so slightly between the head/block join at the front gearbox side. Look at the pics, the top pic shows the MLS gasket and the bottom pic shows the shim when fitted on top of it with its telltale tab bottom right. That is the area of interest as marked by the red letter X.
