Usually it is flat line, while euro light has a beam that goes up-right and capture more stuff on a right side and right headlight captures further then left. Here they are more symmetrical like bike headlight.
Also, forgot about local deadly sin: Road surface marking paint is not reflective and reflectors are not everywhere.

Yes, this. Lack of reflective road markings/cat-eyes is notable in and around Vancouver. Driving between Richmond and Vancouver one notably bad area is Russ-Baker, Richmond bound, around the left turn bays for Gilbert,heading towards the 2 road bridge. Multiple lanes that become virtually indistinguishable from another on rainy nights, with yellowish street lighting creating glare that makes road markings disappear. LOL, I sound like a grumpy old man. But very poor set up (maintenance?), should at the very least be cat-eyed and repainted yearly.
