I don't think any of it has color, but other than looking through a sight glass how would you know?

The way to tell which refrigerant it is involves taking accurate temperature and pressure readings of the container and comparing the readings to a pressure/temperature chart.

Would it be safe to use? No, you would be taking a big chance on contaminating the whole system, something that can be very destructive and hard to undo once it's done! If you do use it, be sure to run it through a filter!
Best thing would be to turn them in for recycling. (You probably need an EPA card to do that, not sure, never done it). Then start over with new/refurbished reclaim cylinders.
The recovery unit is probably OK, but I would always use a filter with anything coming out of it.
