Haha jesus christ seriously?? The rumors were true, they did use every pressing plant on earth hahaha. There are ways but you'd have to have the discs in your hands to be able to tell. Unless they can specify from the retailer who is stocked with what pressing. I'm sure the bar codes are likely the same so unless there's specific hype stickers then it would just be the runouts that would tell them apart I would expect.
I think you're right, the only way is really the runout themselves. With the exception of VMP all the other releases seem to have multiple pressing plants. As far as I know there is nothing on the packaging to distinguish them. Same barcodes etc.
I suspect specific retailers might have the same pressing plants but no way of confirming that. I was hoping VMP would be RTI
edit - not that I've even listened to the album yet, just got sucked into the madness of how to find a decent pressing
