How can we differentiate between right censoring and random censoring?

Right censoring - Data are right-censored if the censoring mechanism cuts short observation that are in progress. (most common)
Random censoring - Censoring is random when a subject under study is lost for reasons completely unrelated to the present study.

These two (as well as certain other combinations of censoring) are certainly not mutually exclusive, and in fact many censoring questions ask you to identify multiple types of censoring. However, right censoring covers a broader scope of things e.g. observations that are Type I censored due to the event of interest not having occurred at the time the study is terminated are also right censored, but not random censored.
