Seemed like it was more than that, but the comment is ambiguous. I took it to mean "show me all the commands which are shadowed" not "is this command shadowed"...
this. which(1) and whereis(1) are not bash, only an approximation or coincidence at best:
$ type -a which
which is /usr/bin/which
As a bash built-in, only the type command invokes the installed bash's code path to resolve command words:
$ type -a type
type is a shell builtin
type is /usr/bin/type
$ help type
type: type [-afptP] name [name ...]
Display information about command type.
For each NAME, indicate how it would be interpreted if used as a
command name.
Options:
-a display all locations containing an executable named NAME;
includes aliases, builtins, and functions, if and only if
the `-p' option is not also used
-f suppress shell function lookup
-P force a PATH search for each NAME, even if it is an alias,
builtin, or function, and returns the name of the disk file
that would be executed
-p returns either the name of the disk file that would be executed,
or nothing if `type -t NAME' would not return `file'
-t output a single word which is one of `alias', `keyword',
`function', `builtin', `file' or `', if NAME is an alias,
shell reserved word, shell function, shell builtin, disk file,
or not found, respectively
Arguments:
NAME Command name to be interpreted.
Exit Status:
Returns success if all of the NAMEs are found; fails if any are not found.
$ $SHELL --version
GNU bash, version 5.3.9(1)-release
the sibling answer but with `-a` before command name, will display all path hits for a command.

nope, that just gets you the first hit, not all of them
type -a commandname
quite simple
type -a <commandname>
