Go to the Miraphone web site, and study the photos for the 186 and 188. The 188 is noticeably wider across the instrument, because the bottom bow is larger (in diameter), resulting in a wider "U" shape, making the entire instrument noticeably wider. The aspect ratio of the two instruments are noticeably different. Once you've seen the two pictures, you should have no trouble determining which you have. There are only two CC tubas listed with pictures -- the first is the 186, the second (page 2) is the 188.
