When i got my kit (second hand and un-started) it came with two petrol tanks, one was coated inside so fuel wouldn't soak into the moulding, a mod apparently? but my question is how would you tell the difference between the two?

If the 'coating' you refer to is flouronation, then it is very difficult to tell. If the flouronation is done to a high level, then the finish of the plastic is 'frosty', similar to a 'frosted' opaque window.
That said, even if the tank has been flouronated (which they are from the Europa factory for many years), if the vent and fill holes are cut open to the finished sizes the fuel will still permeate and swell the plastic through the cuts, since the flouronated layer is only 'atoms' thick.
Cheers,
Pete
