Very difficult to tell just by looking at it. My guess is that you would have to do a corrosion test on your own.

i think 316 its better you have to differentiate between the model and type of stainless steel.

A molybdenum spot test might do the job for you. Are you sure that 316 and 304 are the only possibilites? http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1234
