What kind of Simulink block is this?

In a Simulink model, I am trying to identify what kind of block one of the blocks is. When I click on the block, a mfile opens up for editing, but
get_param(gcb,'BlockType')
returns 'SubSystem'. Seems wrong since a Subsystem Block is supposed to contain a block diagram. This block contains MATLAB code, so it seems to be one of 3 kinds of custom blocks: Fcn, Interpreted MATLAB Function, or MATLAB Function block. (1) What call to get_param tells exactly what kind of block this is, i.e. 'Interpreted MATLAB Function'? I want the block name that would be used in the documentation.
I have R2011b, but in earlier releases it seems these blocks had different names: Fcn, Embedded MATLAB Function, and MATLAB Fcn. In R2011b (2) was the Embedded MATLAB Function block renamed Interpreted MATLAB Function? I assume that the MATLAB Fnc block was renamed MATLAB Function Block, but let me know if that is wrong.

Actually, the MATLAB Function block has been renamed to Interpreted MATLAB Function block; and the Embedded MATLAB Function block has been renamed to MATLAB Function block.
Here are the conditions you can use to perform your check:
- BlockType=='MATLABFcn' for "Interpreted MATLAB Function" block
- BlockType=='Subsystem' && MaskType=='Stateflow' for "(Embedded) MATLAB Function" block
- BlockType=='Fcn' for "Fcn" block.
