This is how you tell if you started with an O visa or an O-A visa
LOOK at the current passport (which obviously does not have the original visa in it) BUT which will have a notation on the page they transferred the stamps from the old passport stating what the original VISA type was

Okay, let's start out with WHERE you got your "retirement visas"
Did you get it from your country BEFORE you came here and did it require a police background check, a medical certificate AND you showed proof of funds in your country? AND were you stamped in to the country for a whole year when you showed up?
