Oh yes you can indeed make this determination, by using the socket
timeouts via the SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO socket options.

Timeouts, when hit, will return -EINTR, whereas lack of buffer space
on a non-blocking socket will return -EAGAIN.

I think you simply are unaware of the facilities available in the BSD
socket API.
