I had in my memory that it used object 63. Thanks.
My goal is to reverse
engineer this protocol at some point and create a new implementation. If
sources for it turn up (for any OS) that would help a lot. It can't be very
much code.
These are (some) documentation and sources for TOPS-10:

FAL doesn't explicitly do PMR at all; instead it
"just works" provided the
intermediate nodes are VMS, because of transparent network access in RMS32.
Yup! In fact there is some specific bit in the FAL$LOG logical name which
has to be turned on for it to refrain from continuing if it finds that there
is more than one node in the file specification :)
MAIL too has its internal parsing for "::" and thus does not require it.
Anyway, if someone wants the VAX binary version I have, I could send it to
someone for sharing on HECnet, or I could just attach it here on the mailing
list: once compressed it's just 10-15 kB :)
