Anomalous peaks should be doable at shorter wavelengths (if that's all the data there are) as well, depending on data quality. Phaser LLG maps are very sensitive for this. Also by comparing ADPs and local geometry/environment.

At Cu Kalpha, f"=0.03 for O and and 0.7 for Cl, at 1.8A, its 0.9A. You might be able to see the anomalous signal for Cl in an anomalous omit map.
