Actually, there's not a morse code identifier. It's just a continuous series of dashes, or dot/dash, or dot/dot. The markers are also differentiated by tone and time between dashes and dots.

The Outer Marker: (low tone)Doh,..Doh,..Doh,..
The Middle Marker: (high-middle tone) Dah,Dot,Dah,Dot,
Inner Marker: (high pitched shriek!)Deet!Deet!Deet!Deet!

You're right, I should have been more specific.

Only [dashes], [dots] and [dots and dashes]... but they sound just like morse code!
 
The MB's were realy not put there as checklist reminders, so I wouldn't count on them being there.
In reality, they apply more to LOC only or VOR approaches, as the "decision" point for a go around or landing for an ILS is based on your altitude on the glide path and not a MB.
Good luck in your training!
