The other requirement that I forgot to mention is that you need to
generate serialization support (--generate-serialization) since
internally this information is only needed for serialization.

If all the requirements are met, then you can use the schema_type()
function I wrote:

http://www.codesynthesis.com/~boris/tmp/xsd/schema-type.tar.gz

It returns polymorphic type schema name in the form "namespace#name".
If there is no entry for this type, then it returns an empty string:

#include "schema-type.hxx"

type& x = ... // Some XSD-generated polymorphic class instance.

std::string type (schema_type (x));

It should be pretty straightforward to modify this function if
you need the namespace/name parts returned separately (e.g.. as
std::pair).
