    I have assigned the 38 unassigned characters to the 128-159 and 1-6
    character codes.  It occured to me that these probably have an
    assignment to some specified location.

The fonts as distributed are (supposed to) follow the ISO Latin 1 encoding.
The fi and fl ligatures are not part of ISO Latin 1.

    Can you suggest an alternate assignment?

The suggestion would be to follow the standard Adobe font encoding (e.g.
see the Red Book p. 252), but then change the charset registry and encoding
properties of the font and the font name to something other than ISO8859-1.
