Great suggestion... Another thing is the emulsion and the anti-halation
layer on the slide film.  The HIE's emulsion will give the film a green
color on both sides (pistachio green is the best way to describe it) and
the Slide film will be light tan on one side and dark brown to black on the
other. 

Cheers!
