I hadn't thought of that: It turns out that all three keys send <M-kp-0> 
to C-h k KEY
I will try writing a simple defun to see if a second sequence is trapped 
by elisp.
If so, I could just bind them to the printed legends or something else.

(universal-argument) runs deep as it dispatches further defuns:
(prefix-command-preserve-state)
  (setq prefix-arg (list 4))
  (universal-argument--mode)
