Your F2 body has an F finder. It's got the "F" on top, it's more angular, and no nameplate. F2 plain prisms are more curved and they have the "Nikon" nameplate as part of the finder.
The F2's have the small "Nikon" font in an area that's covered by the much larger nameplate from the finder. It overhangs the front of the body. With F's, the nameplate is screwed to the body and the finder sits behind it. Note the fact that your finder is perfectly flush with the body.
F2 plain prisms aren't exactly rare, they're just not as abundant as the metered versions. They're just priced so that it usually makes more sense to buy a whole camera with the plain prism rather than buying one separately.
