You can try printing out all the fields of the message with:

	openssl cms -cmsout -noout -print

Near the top you should see: 

        keyEncryptionAlgorithm: 
          algorithm: rsaesOaep (1.2.840.113549.1.1.7)

while the default padding give:

        keyEncryptionAlgorithm: 
          algorithm: rsaEncryption (1.2.840.113549.1.1.1)
