My Scott specialized has pictures of the various types. Scott calls this design A12, and pictures are found between Scott #12 & #13 and between Scott #34 & #35 in the 2022 catalog. Brookman's "The United States Postage Stamps of the 19th Century" has several pictures as well.
The "complete" lines of a Type II are not exactly very complete and the strength of those details can vary from position to position. I am not near my references to give you actual odds but the presence of the B-relief dot is a strong indicator of the stamp being a Type II without even looking at the stamp.
