If you have Nero, their "Nero InfoTool" shows what company actually
manufactured a disc (behind the brand name). I don't know how that
might differentiate between the "audio" and regular types, though.

Technically, it shows which company manufactured the glass master used
to stamp out the blank disc. The actual manufacturer and dye used may
be different from what's encoded on the glass master.
