So last year when I rescued the boys the woman thought they were neutered but wasn't sure.
Is there a way to tell? (IK, weird question lol)
And I'm in no way planning on breeding or anything, just curious.

More details: they're about 2, and I got them from a rescue. They never gave me the medical records.

If they still have testicles, they are not neutered.

Testicles are usually pretty obvious. Can you post pictures? And are you sure they're really males?

I do boar cleanings on them, so yes lol.
I'm not sure what piggy testicles look like, but here are some photos.
Sorry for the weird pic, I had to take it without help lol.

I got my pig neutered and there is a big difference, but I wouldn't trust myself to say just in case I got it wrong :/

Some males are just small in that area. I have a pig who doesn't look any different before/after neutering.

Unless you plan to house him with a female, it doesn't matter. You could take him in for a well check so your vet can determine whether he's been neutered.

I'd hazard a guess that he is not neutered.
