Yes, thats the way it is. 

Here just a test with your program for the PgUp and PgDn on three
terminals:


            xfce terminal   xterm       rxvt
Ctrl-PgUp       --         550 kPRV5   530 kPRV5
Ctrl-PgDn       --         545 kNXT5   528 kNXT5
Alt-PgUp    548 kPRV3      548 kPRV5   338 KEY_NPAGE
Alt-PgDn    543 kNXT3      543 kNXT5   339 KEY_PPAGE

By the way there is a very easy way to check the plain keycodes from a
terminal. Just type

$ cat<enter>

and then you will get all key sequences for any key you press (minus
the ones that your terminal strips out - e.g. for Ctrl-PgUp/PgDn in
xfce terminal).
