75-ohm coax...

75-ohm RG-59 is typically a slightly larger diameter than 50-ohm RG-58.

Typically 0.242" vice 0.195".

It's a sufficiently large difference (24%) that I think it's fair to say it's obvious.

Even in isolation, without reference to the other.

There are other cable types of course, but these are the most common.
