Sorry I can't help, but that's an excellent question. I was about to ask it myself (although I build _merged_ heads for PRs).
There don't seem to be any suitable environment variables, so the only option I can think of is to interrogate the Multibranch Plugin, which may or may not have the original branch name in it somewhere. I haven't worked which class to use yet.
