How to recognise it

A P shape: the right column and the back edge. The left side shows yellow only on its edge.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 31 algorithm backwards, R' F R U R' U' F' U R, and you are solving 40.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 31 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 31 and not 40.
