Su-30 is a multi-role development of the Su-27UB - with an In-flight-Refuelling (IFR) probe and offset Infra-Red Search-and-Track (IRST) ball
If it has canards and thrust-vectoring control (TVC) it's an Indian Su-30MKI, Malaysian Su-30/MKM, Algerian Su-30MKM
It it is without canards & TVC, but with big, flat-topped fins its a Chinese Su-30MKK/MK2 or Vietnamese, Indonesian, Venezuelan, Ugandan Su-30 MK2/V
Rest is good.....
Su-33 also has bigger wing, shorter tailboom and shorter fins.
Great list of descriptions BTW
