When doing an engine oil change on a MK2 1.6 diesel Superb is it easy to differentiate between the engine oil sump drain plug and the transmission oil drain plug?

To @2006edr - It is easy, yes.

 

For Engine is something like this:

on my car the oil sump plug is plastic, the actual sump is plastic so I guess it has to be. It is a cross head when you look close, but it can be undone with a large flat screwdriver too as it has one long cross - if you get me. It's just next to the place where the oil temp / pressure sensors are which has 2 nuts and wires going into the sump. I did take pictures of the plug if you want I'll upload one. 

And, if that's not enough, the engine sump is attached to the engine, and the gearbox plug to the gearbox, which is separated from the engine by the bellhousing.
