how to tell 99/00 intercooler.. original or updated need to know now!!!!

Hey I need some quick help here. How can you tell if the intercooler core is an original 99/00 intercooler or if its the updated better one. Is there an obvious visual difference or a part number or??? I found one on ebay but I can't tell and all the guy knows is that its off a 99.

Thanks!

Originals are 9 row, updated are 10 rows.
