Hi,
My friend has a little problem he bought a python but now he doesn't know which it is. There is a doubt that it could be an M.s.variegata or dull colored cheynei. So the question is how to determine the subspecies except the coloration.
Here's a whole body pic of that snake:

Why would your friend buy something and not know what it is? I don't think that's much fair for the animal, do you? It looks like a Jungle Carpet Python, your in the right place
lol 
He wanted a python of the Morelia Spilota not a specific one
But everyone is curios sometimes, and that's why we want to know the excact subspieces 
sry for my bad english
And it was sold as a M.s.cheynei
He loves her despite everything
Calling that "unfair" is a bit of a stretch considering the care requirements are the same, regardless of subspecies.

It looks like a Jungle to me and to be honest, I don't see anything that would make me think variegata.
You have to remember that bright yellow Jungles are a product of selective breeding. In the wild, a lot of Jungles are colored just like the one your friend bought.
