As you know, corners rounded by handling and use will be worn from the start of the curve to the end and eventually flattening out to an edge.
Corners that were factory cut with a rounded edge will generally show wear on the outer-most rim(?) of the corner...but the start of each curve, beginning and end, will show a natural factory cut leading up to the corner.
A simple 10x inspection of a decent corner or a close up side pic should tell all.
Just my thought.
