how do we differentiate between PowerON Reset vs External Watchdog Reset in STM8AF5288

[DMega.1]

How can we differentiate between Power ON Reset vs MCU Reset initiated by an external watchdog device?

I mean is there a Memory Area in STM8AF5288 MCU that retains state after MCU Reset compared to Power ON Reset?

I cannot find the source of the MCU Reset as the External Watchdog output is connected to the MCU Reset pin.

You can't. Use the internal watchdog 

If you want to find the source of the MCU reset, disconnect the external watchdog.

Could we use the noinit ram section variables to distinguish between external watchdog applied MCU Reset versus Power ON Reset? Is it possible with STM8AF5288 MCU ?
