Bernard, you will not find it, there is no "X" that marks the block.
You will RECONSTRUCT a consistent version of 

The block by applying all "undo vectors" to a current or a consistent
version of the block.

As far as I know, you will find a before image of a block in the case
of the first transaction that hits a block in a tablespace set in
'backup mode'.

Subsequent change to the block will only generate undo vectors. So
there is at least a case where you copy a full before image of a
block.

However this was true for 8i. I would be surprised if it has changed
since as hot backup are rather deprecated in favor or Rman.
