Determining the UNIX flavour and version from netboot filesets

I am writing code for managing a boot server which might be running
Linux or Solaris. However, it might have several netboot filesets from
which remote machines can network boot into Solaris (sparc or x86) or
aix (5.1, 5.2, 5.3).

Given a directory, I need to find out through code whether this is a
Solaris or AIX, which version and meant to run on which processor. Can
you please tell me what are the definitive tests for this.

I need to cross-post this query on a few other forums
(comp.unix.programmer and comp.unix.solaris) as I need a quick answer.
Apologies for this.
