   I am guessing the FW is doing NAT or PAT to allow internal users to
reach the Internet. If it is using NAT there should be a one to one
relationship between internal and external IPs. If you do some
scanning you migth find something usefull. If they are using PAT is
more complex because they are using one o few IPs to go from the
internal to the external world. My guessing there is that you would
need to find any translation running to try to get some info from the
inside.

I have already found vulnerabilities resident in the VPN and Webserver which would allow me access to the internal network but I would like to see, for personal interests as well as to demonstrate the level of security provided by the firewall, if there was any way to enumerate internal network information due to poorly configure filters. Since the beginning of this audit I have began research into packet manipulation in order to blindly discover available internal hosts and would simply like to know if it was possible to do so across the internet without access to a dmz zone.
