You can tell custom and standard fields apart on NetSuite pages. To do this, enable the Show Internal IDs preference at Home > Set Preferences under the Defaults section of the General subtab. With this preference enabled, clicking a field shows its ID in the bottom right corner of the field-level help popup. If it's a custom field, the ID from the custom field record is shown.
