I'm not trying to take this thread to far off topic, but it reminds me of a report I once read about the Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 1500's. It was called the Imjin waeran or Japanese War of Imjin.

Hideyoshi was daimyo of the newly unified Japan. In 1587 he sent a test force into Korea, and concluded they were incompetent. The Koreans quickly determined the attack came from samurai and not the Japanese pirates that had plagued them for decades.

They were able to tell because samurai would not kill a man unless he faced them, therefore most of the wounds were from the front. Pirates would kill a man from any direction
