5 bit; if it really were 6 bits it would typically be typesetting codes.
That's a relative of the machine used as console terminal on Dutch
Electrologica X8 computers; I recognize the "Iron cross" symbol, the figures
shift character on the D key. But some of the other function codes have
different labels so it isn't actually the same model.
The description I have says that the X8 console used CCITT-2, a.k.a., Baudot,
code but with the bit order reversed. And also that it used the all-zeroes
code as a printable character rather than as non-printing fill.
