setxkbmap.exe -v
This will print the last xkb settings.

$ setxkbmap.exe -v
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   xfree86+aliases(qwertz)
types:      complete
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc/pc(pc105)+pc/de(nodeadkeys)
geometry:   pc(pc105)

important is the entry symbols:
pc/pc(pc105)+pc/de(nodeadkeys)
      ^^^^^     ^^ ^^^^^^^^^^
      model layout   variant

to set this layout:
setxkbmap -model pc105 -variant nodeadkeys de
