This is a great point. There should probably be NCS output in the PDB header. If you used torsion NCS restraints, a list of matching residues is printed in the .log file.

Global NCS uses Cartesian-based restraints, which force the matching chains to be identical. Torsion NCS restraints are new, and restrain matching torsion angles, but are flexible and allow differences between related chains.

In general torsion NCS restraints perform better, and are safe to use with even high resolution data where differences between chains can be more pronounced in the map. 
If you have further questions please let me know.
