As to 1.0 or 1.3, I'd say there's a handful of basic things that could point towards either, but are not garentees. 4-speed 'box points at 1.0, anti-roll bar at the front is likely 1.3, handbrake position: rear propshaft = 1.0, rear drums = 1.3.
That's all I can think of without actually checking the engine.
the only thing is I think they did some cross over 413's with the brake on the t box,
Also.... a 410 has verticle slat grills wheras a 413 has a plastic section grill with horizontal slats, instead,
The easiest thing to do first is to find out if its a samurai or not, because all the samurai's have the 1.3 engine (and they are the easiest to identify) The Samurai has a 1.3 engine and is the follow up model to the 413, it has badges on the wings saying 'samurai' also the bonnet has a 'bulge' in it, (410s & 413s are flat sometimes with a suzuki badge on the leading edge) the wheel arches are flared and bigger and they have a plastic trim around the sills and plastic corners on the bumpers, later samurai's have a different grill (usually showing that they have an injection engine).
and then if you decide its not a samurai take a look at the engine, 410's have suzuki cast into the rocker cover wheras 413's dont
