Well, according to what I've seen on the list so far, if you have 
"auto.mirror.devuan.org" in your sources.list, then you're on the old 
amprolla; if you have "pkgmaster.devuan.org", then you're on the new 
amprolla3.

I still don't quite understand what "onion" means here.

Plenty (in fact most) of Devuan's packages are just plain Debian packages, 
redirected to the Devuan repository.

Basically, anything which does not depend on systemd is a plain Debian 
package, and you end up getting it from a Debian repository.  Anything which 
does (did?) depend on systemd is served (as a package without the systemd 
dependencies etc) from the Devuan repository.

I hope that helps (and I hope I find out what "onion" means here),
