You have to look for entries with <type>delete</type> and <action>revision</action>. This functionality wasn't originally available when Wikipedia began, so the first ones only appear around 25% into the dump file.

The parameters are in the <params xml:space="preserve">…</params> node… but it looks like they're stored in some internal undocumented format, and the formats changed over time. You might have to write some code to parse them :/ You probably want to start by figuring out DeleteLogFormatter::getParametersForApi() if you want to do this.

If I were you, I would really just use the API for this.
