Is there any way that I differentiate between them at this stage

Why do you need to differentiate them?

Just plant each tray/pot load in a separate row.

As they grow, the onions will develop tubular hollow leafs whilst the
leeks will develop flat leaves.

Leeks aren't to be planted until they are about the diameter of a No.2
school pencil,

Why is that? What would be the problem if they were planted when they
had a much smaller diameter, say, like a cocktail stick?
