It should be possible to distinguish this by looking at the three-way handshake at the start of the connection.  This will show a different set of TCP flags and ECN field values depending on whether RFC-3168 or AccECN is being attempted.  Without AccECN, you won't have functioning L4S on a TCP stream.

But I think it is more likely that it's a misapplied DSCP.
