There is no 'information displayed' on mouse hover when the system monitor cpu and the system monitor network are added to panel. This helps in distinguishing which monitor is what (cpu or network plasmoid).

In the screenshot the 'Tiny CPU/RAM/Swap monitor' by Matthew Dawson (tooltip shows system load viewer with cpu/ram/swap information) does show a display window on mouse hover on the plasmoid when added to the panel, but the 

in the screenshot (the 'system monitor cpu or network' next to it do not show a tool tip or a text in the plasmoid saying it is displaying 'cpu' information or 'network information' - so there is no way if the widgets are locked to find out if the plasmoid display is cpu info or network info, although by sending a big file across the network shows which is the network plasmoid, but is not a solution.
