One might be able to figure out the zone based on ballpark figures of eastings and northings but there are so many projections that are similar but not quite (e.g. every time one projection is superceded by another like GDA94 -> GDA2020). A guess will always be just a guess and one cannot make accurate inferences based on a guess. Spatial data that can't be geolocated is often better discarded. | |
