i think you'll just need the (full) list of classes that are applied.  

our use of the scripts in the fai config space is pretty limited (most
configuration is offloaded to cfengine or ansible) but a dirinstall
looks like:
/usr/sbin/fai --class DEFAULT,LINUX,CHROOT,DHCPC,FAIBASE,UBUNTU,XENIAL,XENIAL64,${fqdn},LAST --hostname $fqdn dirinstall $TARGET

a semi-automated method might involve parsing the install-client's
`last-install/FAI_CLASSES`
