Is there a way to easily identify the difference between the two? Would like someone out in the field to tell me if MC or HG MC is installed.

Some manufacturers use a green jacket on their HCFC. Unless they've adopted some type of coloring scheme you would need to look at a termination to determine the cable type.

I thought one had a bonding strip and one didn’t . On the job site we have some unterminated.

All AC has the bonding stip, HGMC does too but not all MC is HG. The original HG cable was a type of AC and was not color coded green
