I believe you can reconstruct this information by using MacTools.
If you enter MacTools, highlight the file, and choose InfoEdit File,
it will prompt you for the filename, and two other pieces of info,
"File Type" and "File Creator."  Enter these 4-character codes into
those spots to turn the document into a Macpaint file:

   Type:  PNTG       Creator:  MPNT

Then exit out of Tools and save the info if prompted (depending on
what version of MacTools you are using.)  Now this may or may not
change the icon once you are back at the desktop, depending on
whether you have ever had another MacPaint file on that disk to
install the icon in the desktop file.  Anyway, the file should
now be readable by MacPaint.  Let me know if this works for ya!
