Bolex viewfinder magnification question

I see some Rex5 cameras listed with a 10x viewfinder, and some with a 13x viewfinder. Is there any way, just by looking at the camera, that I could tell which it has? For instance, is there any rule like models above serial number xxxxxx have the 13x, or something like that? Or is there some other physical indicator on the camera?

Thanks!

I found this at www.jkcamera.com. I can't verify its veracity.

Most of available Rex-5's have 10x viewfinder. S/N 253.020 and up have
13x view. According to manufacturer, cameras without the TV safety frame have 14x view, however I call it 13x because the optics are the same in both versions.

Hope this helps.
