Either brand should have a Make/Model sticker visible from the outside door. Please post that. You can also go to bryantrv.com and probably find the Service Manual for it.
Note from the pix that OB posted that the Atwood has the tank parallel to the side of the RV and the Suburban has it perpendicular. So Atwood has a door that's more rectangular than Suburban. If somebody replaced one brand with the other, should be easy to tell.
One brand might actually be better than the other, but I always suggest replacing either brand with the same brand because of the mounting cutout issue with changing brands. We've had both brands and both have been fine.
