Easiest way to tell the units apart is check the drawings in parts manual -- plates 31C and 31D.
But if that is not convenient, essentially the Monroe has just one large component underneath as the assist cylinder is built into the end of the valve section and there are only two long hoses going to the power unit. The Bendix unit has two components. A valve section and then a separate power cylinder. There will be 4 hoses visible--two long as with the Monroe and then two additional short hoses between the cylinder and valve. The vendors may have repair seals for the valve section but the 55-6 Bendix power cylinder could possibly be an exchange or replace only part. The pump should be rebuildable if the shaft is OK -- It is mostly O rings and a shaft seal.

Thanks HH56 for the identification of Bendix vs Monroe.
My 56 Exec has 2 long and 2 short hoses. So i have Bendix. NOTE that there is an STC or SC that covers some issue regarding backwards installment of the seal on the slave cylinder. I'm pretty sure it addresses the Bendix system.

There is a seal kit for the Bendix slave cylinder. I got one and I believe it was from Max Merrit.
