It is tricky to guess which one. I have seen it happen on both the primary and secondary catalytic converters.
Here is one thing you can try, that can help you determine which one.
Use an infrared thermometer and measure the exhaust temperature. Measure the temperature just before and after the converter. If either of the converters is clogged, the one with the clog will have significant temperature difference between the inlet and outlet, due to restriction of air flow.
