What I'm really asking is there a way to know where they ORIGINATED from, CoreFoundation API or Cocoa. I said clever because there must be some sub-standard way to get this info, as this is a sub-standard situation.

There is not. For example, [NSMutableArray array] calls CFArrayCreateMutable() to do the work, returning an array that's indistinguishable from the one you get if you call CFArrayCreateMutable () directly.

#0  0x93628d13 in CFArrayCreateMutable ()
#1  0x9366c0ff in -[__NSPlaceholderArray initWithObjects:count:] ()
#2  0x93679c24 in +[NSArray array] ()

Even if you could find some distinguisher, it would almost certainly be unsupported and behave differently in past or future OS versions.
