Thanks.

I had seen in a webpage that with:

$ setxkbmap -print    i can see the '''current settings'''.
Also with setxkbmap i can change the current xkeymap used by XKB.

So i guess in my mind a strong connection was made that since with that 
command i can change the mapping i can also see the current one!. But as 
you said setxkbmap -print will show just a mapping from MLVO options to 
a Ktcsg include commands.

Indeed with :  xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY xkbmap.out    i can see the changes 
i've asked for.
