Small pistol vs small pistol magnum primers

I was given a medicine bottle that has a mixture of CCI small pistol and small pistol magnum primers in it. Is there any way to tell the difference?

If not, would the safe approach to using them be to load a few grains less powder?

If I'm loading .38 Special to shoot in a .357 Magnum revolver and a .357 lever action rifle does it matter since the weapons should be able to handle the slight additional pressure of a magnum primer?
