I don't see file type as a field in the PDF spec, and also don't see
how a field in a file can help tell you which program to open it with,
when it is already open by then ....

The creator field could be filed in as R, I guess, but it won't help you.
It's purely for information.

I think your OS has not got its MIME types sorted.
