Sadowsky SA200 amp head

I'am the proud owner of one of the very rare & amazing Sadowsky SA200's. I'm trying to find out if it's a Mk1 or 2. Does anyone know how I can tell which one it is if indeed it makes any difference?
Thanks in anticipation.

The first version has two toroidal transformers and the second one uses one toroid and one E-I type. Not sure beyond that.
