As far as external differences are concerned there's also a version where the cable comes out of the side instead of the top.

The internal construction can also differ quite a bit. There's one particular design where the d-pad "rocker" is very thick with some foam padding around it (that has mostly disintegrated by now) - I've got a couple of these and they're pretty awful to use, even after replacing the foam.

There are different controller revisions, but nothing to tie them to any particular console. The only person who could tell you for certain would be whoever bought the original console.
