Sometimes Damage Reduction is Supernatural (Su) and sometimes it's Extraordinary (Ex). The former is negated by Antimagic, and the latter isn't. How the heck do I find out which is which?

Example from my campaign. Party in a room. Antimagic field activates and they are attacked by a Fiendish Grey Render. Supernatural abilities cease functioning, but there's no indication in the Fiendish Creature template whether its DR is (Su) or (Ex).

Thanks

EDIT: Make that the MM errata.

DR/- is Ex.
DR/Adamantine is Ex.
DR/Cold Iron or Silver is Su.
DR/(Alignment) is Su.
DR/Magic is Su.
DR/Epic is likely Su as well, though it is not listed. Just taking the logical jump.
