    If A and B are swapped on one coil then the motor will run the other way round. If they are swapped on both coils it will be OK. If you do not wire correctly and swap a terminal from coils one and two then the motor will not do anything.

    Then is there a way to differentiate A from B?

    It is not possible without some serious testing gear and it is not necessary, if it rotates the wrong way then reverse one pair.
