I know Chinese Type 56 is mostly stamped. Donno about Yugo tho
The Yugo is machined as well. A Russian SKS will have either a star with an arrow in it (Tula) or a circle with a triangle inside of it and an arrow inside the triangle (Izhevsk) on the receiver cover. Also, the serial numbers start with cyrillic letters on the Russians (at least I'm pretty sure they all do).

The Chinese are pretty easy to spot with the Chinese stamps and the Yugos with the grenade launchers on are pretty obvious as well. Could be an older Yugo or an oddball country if it's not a Russian.
