FWIW, on my system, taking an arbitrary gpg encrypted file, I get:
$ file --mime-type transcript.gpg
transcript.gpg: application/octet-stream
and
$ file transcript.gpg
transcript.gpg: PGP Elgamal encrypted session key - keyid: 7EF04638 56DFFBBA
Elgamal Encrypt-Only 1024b.
That's using the recent file magic database.

Again, that depends entirely on the file database (in this case:
mime.types) in use.
