Why do you need to know?
If you need to know for diagnostic purposes, Unplug or disable the ports,
one at a time, and try the telnet to get in and see which way works.

The incoming interface has little to do with selecting the device for
an outgoing connection. That depends on the routing tables: which is
the default route, and how routes are assigned to the other interfaces.
