   Not so sure that you can see contents in that partition when/if   
   you can mount it.   
      
   Suggest you get back into gparted, click the partition, select the flags   
   option and set the desired flag type.   
      
   After which you should see the desire code. Example snippet of mine   
    gdisk -l /dev/sda   
   Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name   
      9       712286208      1471924223   362.2 GiB   8300  vmguest   
     10      1471924224      1471926271   1024.0 KiB  EF02  bios_grub   
      
   My code is EF02 because it is a legacy MBR install. Not UEFI   
   I do not expect yours to have a Name. I put media and Partition labels   
   on all my partitions.
