The sure way to determine what type of pot is, is to use an ohm meter.
Put the pot in exact mid position and measure the resistance between wiper and the left end then between the wiper and the right end.
1-If values are equal, there is a linear pot.
2-If the left side is 10% of the total value of the pot and the right side is 90% it is a log pot.
3-If the left side is 90% of the total value of the pot and the right side is 10% it is a reverse log pot.
