cp-1252 uses close to the entire 8 bit range (except the lower command area, which neither of the charsets use), so it's really impossible to single it out. I don't know about Mac Roman, but latin-1 and latin-9 (8859-15) are likely well over 99% identical.
So I guess you can: If any illegal latin-1 char is used and the text is not UTF-8 (which can be detected reliably), then it's one of Mac Roman, latin-9 or cp-1252 :p. Not exactly very useful.
