You can buy or rent a Time Domain Reflectometer or you can build one
yourself as follows. Connect a 50 ohm pulse generator and high impedance
scope to one end of the cable and terminate the other end of the cable in 50
ohms. If there is a significant reflection at the far end of the cable as
noted on the scope, the impedance is wrong. Change the terminator to 75 ohms
to verify.

Dear members,
Anyone there can share the experience to measure
cables' impedance thus to identify whether a BNC
is a 50 ohm or 75 ohm cable.
Thanks,
Leslie
