On the items you listed: Yes, 023 is NICE.  026 is shown in the registry as "message router", that would be the store and forward machinery in the heavyweight corporate mail product DEC tried to sell (part of All-In-One as I recall).  It was used internally but only by corporate overhead people; engineers wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole and stuck with Mail11.  Yes, that's also used by VMS mail.

I don't know where 117 and 201 come from.  Yes, 123 is PMR (also known as PSTHRU), the poor man's router.

Some time ago, I asked about a list of DECnet generic objects and what they meant.  I remember seeing a response and now I can't find it or what I thought I saved as a file.  Could somebody send me that again?  For now, all I have is what SYSDPY shows.  This is an annotated list (note that numbers are octal unless otherwise specified:
