Not very elegant way of doing what you want but as a last resort I used distance criteria. P-O distance is 1.6A, S-O distance is 1.4A. Provided your coordinate error is in the range of 0.1A you may cautiously suggest one or the other. However, it may be impossible to prove that what you see is not a mixture of both.
