In theory, a UAS must use 401 and a proxy must use 407.  But a UAS can
behave as if there is a proxy between itself and the rest of the
network, and that proxy could send a 407.  So in practice, a UAS can
send a 407 if it wishes to.

In general, there is no effective way for a UAC to determine which
element generated a 401/407 response (or any other response), other than
optional UAS identification fields (like Server and Contact) that the
responder chooses to include in the response.
