I did it by putting bells (control-G) in the strings, then trying various
key codes - run Terminal via the .term file, then press the keys and see if
you hear beeps.  I believe the terminal emulator can do up to eight distinct
bells.  I know it can do four, for sure, so you can test a few key codes on
each iteration via the number of bells for each.  Yea, this was a tedious
process.  If you're a heavy user of DEC's text editors, it is worth the
effort, tho.  Or, was, prior to Mr. PQRS's work.

You'll also have to put the keypad in the applicaion mode first, by typing
out a file containing <esc>= (just two chars) first, for the above to work.
