Let's see:

The design of the upper and lower stack key touchpieces.
The shape of the r.h. trill keys (especially the enlarged, rectangular lowest one)
The register mechanism
The shape and size of the upper trim ring
The arm over the C#/G# key cup coming up from the lower stack.

I'm sure there are more -- believe me, I can spot a Malerne alto or bass clarinet from a kilometer away at this point!
Attached are a few photos of my own Malerne (branded "Evette") bass clarinet -- mine is the one-piece-body hard rubber model; as with Kohlert alto and bass clarinets of that era, they came in hard rubber as well as two-piece-body wood models. Not to bait Vytas or anything, but as far as I've been able to tell there is no detectable difference in sound between the wood and hard-rubber models in these two brands.
