And from what I've understood, there isn't a clear standard as to how metal films are marked as opposed to carbon films, so you would have to know what resistor manufacturer the equipment manufacturer used in order to be able to tell what type is in the device. You can deduce some from the application as well as tolerance, but it's by no means a sure-fire way.
