The tool Modelviewer gives you the chance to preview the models and also shows the place of the DATs.

A very up to date version can be found here:

Note that the numbers you see when you load a model are the location.

For example:
1-131-34.dat

This would lead to
(game install path)\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\ROM\131\34.dat

So the first # is the ROM# folder (ROM1 being just ROM), the second number is the folder in the ROM# folder (so in the example it'd be the folder named 131) and the 3rd number is the dat file name (34.dat in this example).
