is there a way to identify a MPLS router aside from just analyzing the traceroute? Would be nice if the hostnames had an identifier in them for that.

It's not ideal, but if you ping an internal MPLS router you'll typically see a very different RTT to the one you see from traceroute. (On the other hand, you'll often see nothing at all, since internal MPLS nodes often aren't using publicly routable IP addresses.)
