Win 70 Featherweight - How do I tell if push feed?

I picked up a Win Featherweight in a trade. How can I tell if it has a push feed bolt or the controlled round push feed?

Look at the face of the bolt:

If it looks like it has a complete raised rim around it with a spring loaded button on the right lower side (as you look at it) it is a pushfeed.

If the bottom of the rim is missing and it has a big hook on the left side (when viewed from the front) it is a controlled feed.
