How can I make sure a sample did in fact come with Ableton?

I'm preparing to send off a song for final mixdown. I don't use many samples but I'm using one in this song. I believe it is an Ableton sample, and therefore royalty free. But to feel comfortable, I want to be absolutely positive that this sample is indeed an Ableton sample and not something I downloaded from elsewhere and forgot that I downloaded (I started this song a long time ago). Granted, if I downloaded a sample from elsewhere I almost certainly would have first made sure it was royalty free before downloading the sample. But the point is I want absolute verification of every sample's source before releasing a song with it.

I think I know the answer to this. In the browser, I can right click on the sample, select "Show Places" and verify that the sample is part of an Ableton pack. The sample in question is M&D Swinging Tambo. It appears to me that sample is part of Ableton's "Sounds of the 70s" pack. So that's reassuring. And pretty much good enough for me. But is there anything else I can be doing to verify that the sample came with Ableton? Or is that the one thing to do?

Thank you very much.
