[AMBER] Reading chemical bonds from par7 files

I am trying to verify chemical bonds commanded from leap with

---VMD
---parmed.py
---parm7 file

I assume that in parm7 file:
BONDS INC HYDROGEN
This section contains a list of every bond in the system in which at least
one atom is Hydrogen. Each bond is identified by 3 integers—the two
atoms involved in the bond and the index into the BOND FORCE CONSTANT
and BOND EQUIL VALUE. For run-time efficiency, the atom indexes are actu-
ally indexes into a coordinate array, so the actual atom index A is
calculated
from the coordinate array index N by A = N/3 + 1. (N is the value in the
topology file)
%FORMAT(10I8)
There are 3 × NBONH integers in this section.
BONDS WITHOUT HYDROGEN
This section contains a list of every bond in the system in which neither
atom
is Hydrogen. It has the same structure as BONDS INC HYDROGEN described
above.
%FORMAT(10I8)
There are 3 × NBONA integers in this section.


Following is the initial portion of my parm7 file (ambertools14):

Could you please instruct me how to verify bonds in the above list for the
two initial residues in the corresponding PDB file?

Embarrassed enough to pose such a naive question, however I am in trouble
in verifying the active center with transition metals (where not all bonds
indicated by both leap log and parmed.py are displayed on VMD; I know that
in such a case VMD only relies on bonds registered in the parm7 file,
abandoning any guess on interatomic distances)

Thanks a lot for your patience
