Is there a way that a program running in the I/O processor can
determine the CPU of the second processor?
 
It's not as obvious as checking the ROM type of the current
language, as a language may not have been selected yet, or a 6502
language may have been selected and the second processor has code
to check for this and select alternative code, as the ARM CoPro
does if 6502 BASIC is selected.
