That's a pretty low bar--those terminals predate ECMA-48![1]
Bracketed paste mode still has a showroom shine by comparison.
Some study of the terminfo database might enable a test with greater
specificity. I've been knocking about in ncurses lately; I'll send a
patch if I spot anything promising.

ECMA-48 (1st edition), 1976
I'm assuming LSI had the design of the ADM-3a locked down before
ECMA-48 was finalized.
Also, ECMA-48 came first; ANSI X3.64 followed. It's more correct to
say "ECMA-48 escape sequences".
