You have a Kindle. Why would you be converting to ePub?

Anyway as to knowing which is the original and which isn't, it can be very easy. You just have to look at the source in the editor and see if the source code is full of Calibre styles. The one that's not is the source. But, some companies do use Calibre, so it's not fool proof. But in most cases it will work.
