Investigate the manufacturing source, alloy documentation and production stream. Use representative analytical testing if the buyer pays materially different prices. Visual appearance cannot reliably distinguish many aluminium alloys. Keep known-source lots separate because traceability can be commercially more valuable than trying to identify mixed material later.
