Default Smartlock or SmartShield - How to tell?

Any reliable easy way to tell which one the car has in particular, this one is a 12/99 ute.
I know the simple answer is "look at the keys", but pretending for a minute you dont have keys and there are no stickers visible to tell you either way, how do you tell?

look at the dash, one dash says smartlock, the other dash has a symbol with a ! mark in it.

A bit of research has concluded that anything built after June 7 1999 is Smartshield.
