The 411 seems kinda rare.

In a earlier question, I inadvertantly refered to a 402 as a 411. I did a 411 search and a 402 picture came up.

There are some easy visual cues for determining the differences. They're after me to go to this meeting right now, so will get back to this tonight.
Finally got back. Had to drive over close to Hobby Airport, about 30 miles from my house. Anyway, all three of the planes look quite similar up until about 1971. Then the 402 takes on some very obvious differences. On the early planes, there isn't much diff between the 401 & 402. You can tell they're not 411s because there is no raised channel in the top of the nacelles to accept the gearing of the GTSIO-520. Only the 404, 411 and 421 have that in Cessna's 400 series planes. Begins immediately aft of the prop and runs a couple of feet back. Larger and more pronounced on the 404 and 421. Reason for that is the 411 engines put out 340 hp each, and the 404 and 421 put out 375 hp. After '71, the 402 took on the long nose and square windows. 401 & 402 also have that barn door for a rudder.

http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=153 according to this the easiest way would be to look at the engines. 401/402 are direct drive whereas the 411 is not. Also says the 401 and 402 are the same plane the # difference designates whether it is used mainly for cargo or people

There's really nothing visible until you get to the later variants that have differences in the nose and wings.
