Chrome tanned leather is not historical before the end of the 19th century.

Can you tell the difference just by looking at them?

They dye differently, and I believe chrome-tanned is very difficult to remove dye from, the texture can be different.  Even so, if you're building a living history kit, then you care about chrome vs veg tanned leather.

Also, if you look at a cross-section, chrome-tanned leather usually has a grey or whitish center. Like Little Debbie snack cakes.... :P
