It's not possible to discover that information. The first 4 bytes of
the file should be "CDF1" -- but that doesn't tell you much. The file
format hasn't changed for a decade or so and all versions of the netCDF
library support the identical file format.

If they're having a problem it isn't because the file format is
different.
