If you have access to some Mac, you could convert the files to
MacBinary, extension .bin. That makes it a flat file, and creator/file
type are part of the header. There are some ancient, Mac Classic,
conversion utilities floating around.
Or, you could go frisky and go take a peek to what's in the hidden
".AppleDouble" subfolder, if that's indeed what your file system uses.
