They're different! Based on the assortment I have (four CX650ED, twelve CX500 Standard/Shadow):

CX650 should have "ME2" inscribed in the H-box end:



The CX650 H-box end has a near-rectangular inner pipe - ~31mm high, ~22.5mm wide:



The CX500 header pipe has a round internal pipe, ~28.5mm in diameter:

If anyone knows otherwise or has more to add, please drop me a line!
