Not mine, the owner owns three in diff colors, usually brings them in for service together. I have pics of the other bikes somewhere in a folder.

Pretty sure that one’s not a S/C. Nice K0.

There are many different parts that are only specific to the sandcast.  However, when you look at a late sandcast and a K0 machine it's difficult to tell because by late sandcast production many of the parts were the same as k0.  It's pretty easy for an early sandcast vs. k0 however.  I usually look for the left side placement of the horn, round oil filter cover, gussets on the frame, black kill switch, double cut fender. 

Here is a video I found yesterday that details a small portion of the differences.

Definitely the left side location of the horn. Carbs with four throttle cables is another easy visual.

  Good video, he missed the rolled rear rim but got most of the easy to spot ones.

The fork lowers look different just under the gators sit. The video has the early ones. Later are smoother shaped.
