I understand

Unfortunately, even ods-ksmutil key list --verbose does not list this
information.

Well, the dnssec-keyfromlabel takes it out of the HSM, assuming you
create the keys so you also store the public RSA part into the HSM,
by removing "<SkipPublicKey/>" from conf.xml before creating the keys
using ods.
