Is there a way to find out whether the tie rods on the Carrera front end I bought are stock or turbo rods?

The turbo tie rods have a ball and teflon lined socket to allow angle changes in next to the rack.
The regular tie rods have a rubber bushed universal joint to allow the angle to change. |

The main difference is the joint at the steering rack end. Turbos have a "Ball & Socket", standard have a "U-Joint" with a bolt through it.
Turbos at the top...  |
