What speed is my Xenon rear derailleur?

Can someone please educate me on how to identify Xenon mech speeds without mounting them?! (assuming you dont have the rest of the set for reference). I've attached one as an example, thanks

I think xenon was post 2000 9 speed. However, it's an "I think" so don't hold me to it

Edit - others below seem to know more than my best guess, so ignore my 'advice' here. Sorry for any confusion

I'm almost(!) certain that 9-speed Xenons were actually marked '9 speed' in white on the outer plate of the body and both plates of the cage were self-coloured steel. That's what mine looks like anyway and all the 10 speeds I've seen are marked like the one pictured and have either a black outer cage or both cages in black.

i'm more than happy to go with that then
