You'd see that every single block was mined by the same pool.

That doesn't mean a 51% attack happened, it just means someone got 51% of the network hash rate.

An honest miner with 51% of the hash rate would only mine 51% of the blocks (example: https://blockchain.info/blocks ); an attacker would mine every single block.
