 At a glance, no, but after you look a bit closer and spot one with some
metal and some glass, you will see a slight difference in colour.
 The enameled plates are not perfectly flat like the glass ones, the
lighter colour was applied over the dark backing and is a little thicker.

 From a distance it would be almost impossible to spot, unless the light
angle caused reflections on the glass remaining glass panels.
