Yes. Look at the first three digits: 114: Standard Beetle 134: Super Beetle There are five other ways to tell. a. Windshield. Flat windshield: Standard Beetle Curved windshield: Super Beetle b. Dashboard. Dashboard made of steel, flat and straight up-and-down below the windshield: Standard Beetle Padded dashboard that looks a little like one from a modern car: Super Beetle c. Front shocks. Just the shock: Standard Beetle Shock inside huge coil spring: Super Beetle d. Front apron - the piece of sheet metal below the front lip of the trunk lid No vent slots: Standard Beetle Vent slots: Super Beetle (Having said that, when Supers were still being made, some of the aftermarket body-parts companies made slot-free Super Beetle aprons. Since the slots don't do anything anyway, why not?) e. Spare tire Spare tire standing up in the trunk: Standard Beetle Spare tire lying flat in a tire well: Super Beetle
You'll have to look in John Muir's "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" for pre-1970 cars, but 1970s and above have a serial number that looks like this: 134 2215475 The first digit is the "type"--type 1 is the Beetle, Super Beetle, Beetle Convertible, Karmann Ghia and Thing, type 2 the Transporter, type 3 Squarebacks and Fastbacks, and type 4 is...well, the type 4. If you have one, you know it. The second digit is the specific car you have. In type 1, 1 was the Deluxe Beetle, 3 is the Super, and you'll have to fill me in on KGs, convertibles and Things. The third digit is the last digit in the model year. The last number is a one-up serial. If you are looking for a super simple solution just to get information and not figure it out go to www.decodethis.com (this website decodes vin numbers for free, except for the VINs on aircooled Volkswagens--I just tried it with the VIN on my own car, and it rejected it.).

I am not certain about decoding the VIN number of our superbeetles.....but my VIN number is 1342095288! Our cars were born pretty close together. Edit: 113 beginning numbers with a 10 digit code indicates a 1973 Type 1 Beetle.
