Here is how to read those QPRODT index entries into your MI disassembler
project.  Break each 94-byte index entry into two 2-byte chunks and fifteen
6-byte chunks, and PRINT them in this order:

00  01
02  03
04  05  06  07  08  09
0A  0B  0C  0D  0E  0F
10  11  12  13  14  15
16  17  18  19  1A  1B
1C  1D  1E  1F  20  21
22  23  24  25  26  27
28  29  2A  2B  2C  2D
2E  2F  30  31  32  33
34  35  36  37  38  39
3A  3B  3C  3D  3E  3F
40  41  42  43  44  45
46  47  48  49  4A  4B
4C  4D  4E  4F  50  51
52  53  54  55  56  57
58  59  5A  5B  5C  5D

Study the PRINT-OUT this way, you'll have an Aha! moment and will see the
choice pool of operand types and lengths.
