Mitch, For discernment of Sodium versus Potassium, you could also look at the bonding distances and coordination of the metal present. Ran into this problem back in the day. Check out Figure 6 C,D in the following pub:

For most energies/wavelengths used to collect protein data, f" for K will be just under 2x the f" for S while for Na f" will be much less (0.2-0.25 of S). So you can use S atom anomalous as an internal reference. If you see anomalous peaks at your S atoms, then you would also expect peaks at K atoms but not at Na atoms.
