I'm surprised that the file detail isnt in XML tags, but anyway, once 
you have translated from base64, have a closer look at the byte stream. 
If its jpeg, then should have the jpeg structure. Ie, should begin with 
FFD8 then FF plus another marker byte, probably E something.
If its PNG, then it will start 89(hex). And so forth.
