I went up into the attic and found another of the "later" cords. I'm pretty sure I got this one with a 512K, and it is noticeably different on the connector (female) end from the one that I got with the 1986 512Ke. It is possible that I have them mixed up, but I don't think so. The plug (male) ends with the Apple are almost exactly the same.
So it looks like it is possible to tell the 1984/1985 cords from the 1986 cords used in the 512Ke and Plus. Both have "Electricord" with the lasso font but it is smaller, on the other side, and not isolated in a box. Here they are side-by-side:
