Question Stupid question...Turnout size?

Found a turnout I was going to use as a templet for my new layout. It's a Shinohara HO left, but I can't tell if it's a #4 or #6. Was hoping it would be stamped somewhere on the back, but it ain't. Any ideas?:

Hey not a stupid question, I have Noticed with "Shinohara" and "Kato" switches, they tend to go with, Medium Left or Large Right stuff like that, I have a Couple Shinohara switches on my layout and my best guess is that a Medium is like a #4 and a Large is close to a #6, Maybe someone else can shine a bit more light on this.
