Is there a way to determine which UK rail trips have variable prices, based on advance purchase, vs. those that do not?

Yes, (almost) all rail fares within Great Britain are available on brfares.com. This provides a straightforward tariff of the fares, including divisions by walk up (available at any time), advance purchase, and capacity control. Information on season tickets, rail card discounts, plus bus tickets, and more obscure tickets types (such as Rovers) are also available.

If you are feeling brave the site also features an “expert” mode which looks something like this and gives a deeper insight into the pricing structure.

Most popular routes do have some kind of advance purchase discount available, but some do not. One is New Milton to Salisbury. [That said, with split ticketing, it may still be possible to find discounted advance purchase fares, but this is more complicated.] Many commuter routes also lack advance purchase tickets.
