Automator apps look like this:
/Users/helge/Desktop/AutomatorApp.app
└── Contents
├── Info.plist
├── MacOS
│ └── Application\ Stub
├── Resources
│ ├── AutomatorApplet.icns
...
└── document.wflow
And they link:
Zini18:Dropbox.app helge$ otool -L /Users/helge/Desktop/AutomatorApp.app/Contents/MacOS/Application\ Stub
/Users/helge/Desktop/AutomatorApp.app/Contents/MacOS/Application Stub:
/usr/lib/libDiagnosticMessagesClient.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 112.0.0, weak)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Automator.framework/Versions/A/Automator (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CrashReporterSupport.framework/Versions/A/CrashReporterSupport (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 15016.0.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 23.0.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation (compatibility version 300.0.0, current version 1677.103.0)
/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 228.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1281.100.1)
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit (compatibility version 45.0.0, current version 1894.60.100)
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 1677.103.0)
So probably best to check for Contents/MacOS/Application Stub in combination w/ Contents/document.wflow.
from 5guis.

I quick glance confirms, that pretty much everything is configurable, but the script is always ./Resources/script
from 5guis.

Application Apple Scripts are another one (Script Editor: Export as Application). They have a CFBundleExecutable of applet and a CFBundleSignature of aplt
from 5guis.

^ The "Snapper" app above has the following tree:
/Applications/Snapper.app
└── Contents
├── Info.plist
├── MacOS
│ └── applet
├── PkgInfo
├── Resources
│ ├── AppIcon.icns
│ ├── Scripts
│ │ └── main.scpt
│ ├── applet.rsrc
│ └── description.rtfd
│ └── TXT.rtf
└── _CodeSignature
└── CodeResources
So that's probably an AppleScript application.

For Automator apps another check is probably the AMIsApplet in the info.plist
from 5guis.

oTool for AppleScript apps
otool -L /Applications/Snapper.app/Contents/MacOS/applet [13:13:29]
/Applications/Snapper.app/Contents/MacOS/applet:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 934.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.200.5)
from 5guis.

As for Platypus apps: highly configurable; example:
/Applications/Utilities/Uploha\ Companion.app
└── Contents
├── Helpers
│ ├── Uploha\ Companion\ Notifier.app
│ │ └── Contents
│ │ ├── Info.plist
│ │ ├── MacOS
│ │ │ └── Uploha\ Companion\ Notifier
│ │ ├── PkgInfo
│ │ ├── Resources
│ │ │ ├── Uploha.icns
│ │ │ └── en.lproj
│ │ │ ├── Credits.rtf
│ │ │ ├── InfoPlist.strings
│ │ │ └── MainMenu.nib
│ │ └── _CodeSignature
│ │ └── CodeResources
│ └── bin
│ └── b3sum
├── Info.plist
├── MacOS
│ └── Uploha\ Companion
├── PkgInfo
├── Resources
│ ├── AppSettings.plist
│ ├── MainMenu.nib
│ ├── Uploha.icns
│ ├── Uploha1.png
│ ├── beep.aif
│ ├── error.aif
│ ├── script
│ ├── success.aif
│ ├── tink.aif
│ ├── uplc.icns
│ └── urandom
└── _CodeSignature
└── CodeResources
But it's always script in Resources. However, that script file can also be a symbolic link, with the actual file in ./Contents/MacOS, or even outside of the app bundle. (And the script can have lots of formats/languages: shell script zsh/bash etc., python, perl, ruby, Swift, JavaScript etc.)
A definitively fixed file is ./Contents/Resources/AppSettings.plist
/Applications/Utilities/Uploha Companion.app/Contents/MacOS/Uploha Companion:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 23.0.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 58286.220.15)
/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 606.2.104)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation (compatibility version 300.0.0, current version 1560.12.0)
/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 228.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.200.5)
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit (compatibility version 45.0.0, current version 1671.10.106)
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 1560.12.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 934.0.0)
from 5guis.

Puh, so many different things in one Radar. Trying to summarise:
- So Platypus is
Contents/Resources/scriptplusContents/Resources/AppSettings.plist, the otool has no indication? (e.g. missing stuff like Cocoa/AppKit etc is ALSO an indication). - AppleScript "apps":
CFBundleExecutableofappletand aCFBundleSignatureofaplt - Automator "apps": AMIsApplet=true in Info.plist
from 5guis.

Yes, that's that summary.
