I have a paperback novel written in English. Is there any means of establishing whether the language of a particular book/paperback is EN-UK, rather than EN-US, with the aid of the ISBN printed inside it?

Not sure, but if the first digit of a 10-digit ISBN or fourth digit of a 13-digit ISBN is 0 or 1 then the work is in English.

As Drmorgans indicates, ISBN's assign a nationality or language to a book. However they don't differentiate between UK and US English:
