Acanthan one is smaller and only the gold bit dyes tyrain ones are larger and it all dyes. However there is no way to tell in a trade window you should note when trading, unless this got chanegd recently.

Also, in case you can't figure it out from the size, try dying it:

EDIT: Yeah, I never knew about this either until I looked on wiki a few days ago. >_>

You can see it in the Dye-preview.

Quote:

Dye will fully affect the Tyrian skin. This version is dyed red by default.
Dye will affect only the engraved serpent and yellow parts of the Canthan skin. This version is slightly lighter than yellow dyed by default.

EDIT: DRGN was faster^^
