Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Drop in vs press in is easily confirmed by the configuration itself.

Bearings or races which are located radially by the walls of the tube must be pressed in to eliminate the possibility of radial slop.

Bearings which are located by a conical arrangement are drop in and movement is eliminated by headset preload and the conical seat.

So, look at the bearing and how it pockets into the frame and you'll know.
