Check the back of the box for a label.  The model number is printed
there.

Some -FA units of course may have been upgraded.  You can look at the
27256 EPROM on the SCSI interface card.  The sticker covering the
erase window should be labelled with revision information.

TK50Z-FA says:

SP8733
254E6
REV34

TK50Z-GA says:

23-453E6-00
(C) DEC
6-20-89
WYLE LABS

Here are md5 sums of the images, so you can check what's actually on
your EPROM:

MD5 (FA/254E6) = 1cdfa228f382e0a40a68d4024a1b97b7
MD5 (GA/23-453E6-00) = 22be8bc65041ee189c0105cff80abf94
