How is it possible to determine if an existing floor is "red oak" or
"white oak" without removing or sanding any boards?

You just look at it. If you know the differences, you can easily spot it.
Most floors are red.

If you cannot see the difference then you may have a friend who can.

If you have any registers set into the floor (e.g., for forced-air
heat and/or cold-air returns) you might lift one and see if
you can spot some unfinished wood. Or if there's
a transition to another type of flooring, poke around there
and see what you can. Or if your flooring goes into a closet,
try there, around the edges.

I have found that white oak boards are more striped (blonde lines).
whereas red oak boards are more solid tone.
