Unknown 8085 opcodes

Hi folks,

Any 8085 assembler geeks in the house?

Official Intel docs don't seem to be helping with this one, I have 8085 and
D8741A peripheral controller dumps both containing several opcodes that two
disassemblers aren't recognising and any docs I've been looking through for
either 8085 instructions or the UPI instruction set don't seem to feature
them either.

The codes are 0x08, 0x10, 0x18, 0x28, 0x38,0xD9, 0xDD and 0xED.

0x08 nearly always follows a 0x01 LXI B instruction, the others don't seem
to have an obvious pattern.

I've pondered if 0x10 is INC @R0 because the binary for that is 0001 000x
where x is either 0 or 1.
By the same reasoning 0xD9 could be XRL A,R1 (opcode 11011xxx) and 0xDD
could be XRL A,R5 but can't match the others. Also the surrounding code
doesn't mention those registers.

Example 8085 code fragment:
