Re: "Type of Branch Circuit Wiring" - Texas
The biggest thing (required) to be distinguished is between copper and aluminum.

If you want to go beyond that and distinguish the specific types, that's up to you.

Re: "Type of Branch Circuit Wiring" - Texas
Copper or aluminum? NM cable, conduit, or knob and tube? Properly grounded 3-prong? Reverse polarity? Properly protected with the proper OCPD? That type of thing.
