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.

I have this terminal in my garage - sitting on
its custom stand.
I purchased it years ago, but don't have a use for it.
Here is my photo of it:

I'm near Houston Texas.
It is too big and heavy to ship.
