The quickest way to differentiate a pressurized variant (G-1, G-3, G-5) from its unpressurized counterpart (G-2, G-4, G-6) is to look for the desiccant pellets in the lateral windshield panels*. No pellets, no G-1/G-3/G-5.
Besides that, the use of these sub-variants was concentrated in a few units of Western Front. It will be extremely rare to find one in a Slovak unit.
* even if the pressurization systems has been disconnected/removed (with the installation of a Erla-Haube, for example)
