Try to find a camera with a window that let you see a little bit
of the canister (maybe you know someone that has this kind of
camera).  Just put (in total darkness) your unknow film in, open
the light and look through the window : you must be able to 
differentiate chrome and HIE.  As far as I know, this will not
harm HIE.  I don't recommand however to do this in direct
sunlight :-)
