Yes, there are there. I get


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Value:
(keymap
  (27 keymap
      (91 keymap
          (53 keymap
              (126 .
                   [prior])
              (59 keymap
                  (50 keymap
                      (126 .
                           [S-prior]))))
          (54 keymap

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Well I do have

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in ~/.Xdefaults. I did commented that out and it had no effect. Also I
had moved out the way my ~/.Xdefaults (and ~/.Xresources) but again
there was no difference.

I should point out that <PageUp> and <PageDown> do work in xterm (using
emacs-29.0.50) for other buffers (e.g. the buffer produced by C-h v for
the input-decode-map variable). It is in the mini-buffer produced by "C-h
?" where the keys don't work. I haven't checked all buffers.

Best wishes,
