Apple II Vs II Plus - Any Tricks to Spot the Difference?

Badge aside, how can I tell an Apple II from a II Plus motherboard? 

 

Last year I picked up what I believed was an original model II. I say that because it came with the earlier raised powerlight keyboard. The lid had long since disappeared before I got it.

 

If it is an original II, it's definitely a later revision from the absence of the memory select blocks. The ROM chips are all copyright 1978. I'd turn it on to check but it needs repair - won't boot beyond the power light coming on.

 

Any help is appreciated!
