Maybe one of these could work:

1. One way which doesn't involve any coding, but might require you to be
fast, is to type "emacs --no-desktop" to just use your normal init file.
If your init file takes sufficiently long to load, you can glean if the
default title says either "GNU Emacs at foo" or just "GNU Emacs" before
it has time to change.  (If it's too fast, maybe you could add a
(sleep-for 10) to the beginning of your init file.)

2. If that is impractical for some reason, you could just add a call to
exit() to each of them in turn and see when it doesn't start.

3. Or, less intrusively, I think you can just add to one branch:

    Fmessage ("one");

And to the other:

    Fmessage ("two");

Then check the "*Messages*" buffer for which one gave you any output.
