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.
