It is stamped on the jockey-wheel cage on the units I've seen.
But I would think that a 4/5-speed could be adjusted to align with the large cog at the fullest extent of the 'spring mechanism', it's just it could be 'pulled' right the small cog without the internal 'spacer' to stop it?
Maybe the axle for the wheel needs additional spacers?

Thanks yes I can see that by having tried to adjust that knurled head before. I must have a 5 speed model as turning that nut all the way in still does not align. Will keep on the ebay lookout for the right one. Any idea how a seller can tell the difference by looking at them - is there a model number or other identification for the 2-3 speed model?

The "lateral adjustment" is done "by lining up the jockey sprocket with the low-gear cog by means of the knurled head of the adjusting sleeve and locknut."
Then, as noted in my earlier reply, the distance the derailleur will traverse towards the high-gear cog is limited by an internal 'collar' - more restrictive on the 2-speed & 3-speed conversions than a 4/5-speed unit.

The arm is not designed to be bendable. The throw on the sliding piston is different for the 2-speed from the standard 3-speed.
