Fast medium - or perhaps not quite fast medium would be more accurate. Wicketkeepers would stand closer to the stumps to him than they would have done to Trueman, Statham and the like - and Gunn was a very good wicket keeper, so a stumping wasn't that extraordinary.
On the categories of fast bowlers you've reminded me of my days thumbing through the Playfair* annuals. I was always intrigued by the distinctions between RF, RM, RMF and RFM. As they didn't have speed guns in those days, I suppose it was a bit of a guessing game!
* Curses! I just went to check this out from old Playfairs of the 1960s and discovered I must have thrown them out at some stage.
