They are combined in LEaP and printed out as A coefficients and B
coefficients. See http://ambermd.org/vdwequation.pdf

You would have to back out the Lennard Jones parameters by reversing the
combining rules on the A- and B-coefficient arrays to get the original well
depth and radius.

ParmEd (part of AmberTools 12) does this for you. You can use "xparmed.py"
(the GUI version) to load a topology file, then "printDetails" will take a
mask as input, printing all of the details for each atom selected by the
mask, including the LJ Radius, LJ Depth.
