I think you can definitely tell!
Im sorry but i dont think you can tell they have been clearcoated as the clear has a matt effect, it looks as if they have not been buffed up yet? you need to get some rubbing compound and some mildly abrasive polish, like menzerna and buff them either by hand or with a machine if you have one and slowly as the clear all becomes even with less orange peel effect it will start to shine and buff up like glass
