The easiest way is to open the gun and look at the part that lifts
the shells from the chamber. If it is divided into two halves,
it has automatic ejectors. If it is a single piece, it is an extractor
gun.
The “shell lifter” on ejector guns is divided
into two halves. |

The “shell lifter” on extractor (non-ejector)
guns is a single piece. |

A second way to differentiate the two is to look at the side of
the forearm iron to see if it has a small pin. If it does, it is
an ejector gun.
The small pin indicates that it is an ejector gun.
An extractor gun without a pin is below. |
