There is a link map on that link (hmmm, two different meanings of "link" there) that shows INDxxxxx CSECT names, so I think it establishes that IND is the component prefix.
FILE is pretty obvious, like the COPY in IEBCOPY. So the only remaining question is "why the dollar sign?" (Or pound sign, for those of you so geographically disposed.) At my old company we reverse-engineered the protocol.
