I wouldn't use MT. A simple mock up and cut and etch will show exactly the amount of penetration you have.
edit: I should have stated that I wouldn't use MT to check depth of penetration. MT is a good tool to have for fillet welds, but checking depth of pen requires something that can see further below the surface and is repeatable.
