[c-nsp] How to tell if a PIX is UR or FO

I have a customer who has a bunch of PIX' boxen, many of which were  
purchased as UR/FO bundles.  They are all sitting in a storage room  
and he would like to tell which ones are the UR boxes and which ones  
are the FO boxes.  From the docs, if you use a FO box as a primary,  
it will reboot every 24 hours (per 6.2 release notes).  You can only  
use a UR box as a primary and connect an FO box to it as the  
secondary unit, so it's important to know which box is the UR  
(primary) and which box is the FO (secondary).

Question is, how do you tell which box is the FO and which box is the  
UR.  As far as I recall, the FO is just a UR with a different license  
key, correct?  Can a show ver tell this?  Does anyone have an example  
of what the output would look like on a UR vs a FO box?

Apparently these are PIX 520s running code somewhere in the area of 6.2.
