Try with gdalinfo tool, if raster has projection, this tool will show
it. Also raster
can be displayed in correct place even it doesn't have assigned projection, but
has correct wld file. Maybe this is your case.

This is true only for tools, that are command line utilities. Extract
projection is
exception, it uses GDAL API and has no independent command line equivalent.

Also it is possible to add text field for additional command line arguments in
Processing.
