As far as I know the only way is to disassemble the function prologue.
Some of the others would know for sure.

Windows is unfortunately riddled with code to clean up the stack after
functions declared with the wrong calling convention trash it. It's
entirely possible that this DLL was built/compiled incorrectly and
Windows cleans up after it. For instance this happens with wndprocs,
parts of the shell and I think even DirectX callbacks.
