is there easy way to know which decimation phase got selected?

Assume that i am doing decimation by 64, first by filtering and
then throwing. This is implemented the same way in RTL and C.

But there might be a data shift in input. Maybe one more or one less.
This would essentially be same as selecting a different phase of the
filter. Assuming that the input I feed is sine wave, is there a
way to know which phase got selected? Observability points are only
outputs.

A data shift:

1) from the beginning?  OR
2) dropping or repeating a sample after the filtering has started? OR
3) dropping or repeating a sample  after the transient has died out?

Would this happen once or multiple times?
