MH is better for veg growth.

HPS is better for flowering.

The only way you can tell by looking at them is by what the package says they are.

Super White??? Not sure. I might not remember this right so check the faqs. The hps uses a red light spectrum and runs around 2100K. MH uses a blue spectrum and runs around 6500K.

hps has more of a yellow orange glow and a mh has more of a white blue glow.

it doesnt say on the base of the bulb anywhere? where did you get them from? did you buy both and mix them up out of the package?
