They should have a File type of 'APPL'.
(There are a few other file types that are also used for applications, but I can't remember them off hand.)
Or you can get launch services to let you know if its an app or not. See LSInfo.

However in Finder they do show Application under the Kind field. My question would be how can I confirm these as apps via code? Since they are not bundles and they do not carry the .app extension I'm not quite sure. Thanks!
