Our MathType EPS files have the creator application name stored in the XMP metadata (we’re on MathType 6.9b), and it looks like you can check the XMP data from within InDesign.

So, from within your loop, you should be able to check the creator application for each link using:
myLink[i].linkXmp.creator;

If it’s a MathType EPS, the creator property should be “MathType” (at least, that’s what it’s returning for me).
