No! You cannot know if you are a descendent of Ashkenazim or Sephardim regardless if the lab doing the DNA testing has such categories. You “may” be able to be tested for Jewish European genes which are slightly different than native European genes. But the results are not definite. I’m not familiar if Mizrachim and Sephardim living in the Middle East are genetically different than the local populations.
