What are the key names of the textures on the HD ScriptableRenderPipeline in code.

Question

I have started messing around with some of the new 2018 rendering, and I'm trying to build a tool that will associate textures to some of the texture chanels on the HD pipeline. I've been digging around for some information in the source code and the documentation but have been unable to find what I'm looking for.

What I'd like to do is change the chanels that are labeled in the GUI as "Base Color + Opacity", "Mask Map," and "Normal Map", but have been unable to find their names. My code is something like this:

 Texture albedo = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<Texture> (ALBD_LOCATION);
 Texture metalic = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<Texture> (METL_LOCATION);
 Texture normal = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<Texture> (NRML_LOCATION);
 
 MeshRenderer rend = obj.GetComponentInChildren<MeshRenderer> ();
 Material mat = rend.material;
 mat.shader = Shader.Find ("HDRenderPipeline/Lit");
 
 //I need to figure out what these names should be.
 mat.SetTexture ("_MainTex", albedo);
 mat.SetTexture ("_MaskMap", metalic);
 mat.SetTexture ("_BumpMap", normal);

Does anyone know what those textures names should be, and better still, does anyone know a good reliable way of finding what those names should be so in the future I can look them up somewhere or be able to make a good guess?

To know how the channels are used, you can look in the following sources:

Lit shader : https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ScriptableRenderPipeline/blob/master/ScriptableRenderPipeline/HDRenderPipeline/HDRP/Material/Lit/Lit.shader
List Shader GUI : https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ScriptableRenderPipeline/blob/master/ScriptableRenderPipeline/HDRenderPipeline/HDRP/Editor/Material/Lit/LitUI.cs

In the last one you will see a list of GUIContent that are the label and tooltips of the different textures.

For example : _MaskMap = "Mask Map - M(R), AO(G), D(B), S(A)"

You can deduce from it that for this texture the channel mapping is:

Red : Metallic
Green : Ambiant Occlusion
Blue : Detail mask (ok, I know, this one isn't so obvious)
Alpha : Smoothness

I also made a texture assign script which you can find here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/automatically-assign-all-textures-to-all-materials.497154/#post-3800845

Here are some shader keywords of interest:

 //This is to set the textures of the material using material.SetTexture()
 //The source of this is in UnityStandardInput.cginc which is in the Unity build in shaders (separate download).
 //The HD version can be found in Lit.shader
 string albedoTextureID = "_MainTex";
 string baseColorTextureID = "_BaseColorMap"; //HD SRP Lit shader.
 string metallicTextureID = "_MetallicGlossMap";
 string specularTextureID = "_SpecGlossMap";
 string maskTextureID = "_MaskMap"; //HD SRP Lit shader.
 string bumpTextureID = "_BumpMap";
 string normalTextureID = "_NormalMap"; //HD SRP Lit shader.
 string parallaxTextureID = "_ParallaxMap";
 string heightTextureID = "_HeightMap"; //HD SRP Lit shader.
 string occlusionTextureID = "_OcclusionMap";
 string emissionTextureID = "_EmissionMap";
 string emissiveTextureID = "_EmissiveColorMap"; //HD SRP Lit shader.
 
 //These are the single color parameters of the material.
 string albedoColorID = "_Color";
 string baseColorID = "_BaseColor"; //HD SRP Lit shader.
 string specularColorID = "_SpecColor";
 string emissionColorID = "_EmissionColor";
 string emissiveColorID = "_EmissiveColor"; //HD SRP Lit shader.
 
 //These are the material sliders.
 string metallicSliderID = "_Metallic";
 string glossinessSliderID = "_Glossiness";
 string smoothnessSliderID = "_Smoothness"; //HD SRP Lit shader.

What are the key names of the textures on the HD ScriptableRenderPipeline in code.
