Mullion: A vertical bar or divider in the frame between windows, doors, or other openings that supports and holds such items as panels, glass, sash, or sections of a curtain wall.
Muntins: Horizontal or vertical bars that divide the sash frame into smaller lights of glass. Muntins are smaller in dimensions and weight than mullions.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell without going to far beyond the standards of inspection.
Sometimes it's hard to make the right call without putting yourself at risk.
