It's quite easy. API 6A speaks about wellhead and x-mas tree equipment, API 6D speaks about pipeline valves. If you are phisically looking to one valve, you can also understand if it belows to 6A or 6D giving a look to the valve label. On the label you can read the class of the valve. If the class is 2000 or 3000 or 5000 or 10000 or 15000 or 20000 the valve is 6A. If the class is 125 or 150 or 300 or 400 or 600 or 900 or 1500 or 2500 the valve probably is a 6D ("probably" because the same classes of API 6D are used also by other API standards, like 594, 600, 608, ecc ecc).

What is the difference between 6A-6B and 6A-6BX flanges?

6A-6B flanges are ring type joint which is not developed for face to face make up, where the bolting forces act on gasket. 6A-6BX flanges are also ring type joint but it is developed with raised face hence the bolting forces act on this raised face and not on the gasket if it is properly placed. And also the raised prevent the flange damage from excessive bolting torque.
