try to melt them. Quick melt, probably not boro.

If you put two equal small gather together, one of 104 and one of the mystery glass then melt and pull into a stringer. If its boro you may not even get them smooth to pull out, but if you can pull it out into stringer then set it on counter to cool if it cracks or if it just curves it might boro or maybe system 96. If it is 104 it should stay straight.

Are you thinking it melts quicker than 104? if so could it be 'satake' (i think I spelled that correct).
