There is no straight answer as this depends on the broker.
With most (if not all) broker stop loss orders are market orders and thus execute always but there may be (negative) slippage. Same goes for brokers that execute take profit as market orders. Some brokers however execute take profit as limit orders. This means if there is no or not enough liquidity the order may not be closed or again depending on broker partially closed.

Could you share where you see a broker using limit orders to execute a take profit ? I don't think it's correct to say that, but maybe I missed something.

TakeProfit (and StopLoss) of a closed position

It can not be seen. I have never seen a broker stating info like this on their website.
My real account trading experience with MT4 is very limited but Saber, more real account MT4 experience then me, states the above yellow highlighted.
The working of take profit for any broker can be easily checked given they pass on positive slippage to clients, some don't.
-If there is no negative slippage, most likely it's be means of limit orders.
-If there is a partial close by take profit, for sure it is by means of limit orders.
-If there is negative slippage it is either by means of market orders, a shitty broker or both.
