While much of the book isn't clearly by one or the other, as someone who's read all of Discworld, I do think there are some parts that are very distinctly Pratchettian and others that Are Not (I'm convinved the call center scene with the maggots was Gaiman's).

I feel it's also a little bit telling which parts the first season of the TV show preserved verbatim, even when it might've been better served by doing it differently. The narration exists to read clever passages straight from the book and is no longer there in S2. "Sauntered vaguely downwards" was shoehorned in as a really kinda forced bit of dialogue, because there was no other way to include it. It felt like Gaiman was afraid of erasing too much of Pratchett's contributions.
