I say most likely as it is a possibility there could be different identification/marking of some sort to the primer view of the "round"; if not there is no way to tell looking at the primer end of the "round".

But a "cold gun" will have neither in the cylinder... It should be EMPTY...
Once established that it is not empty, THEN you can check for live vs blank ammo...
