Assuming that actual bad D&D novels aren't sold in your PF world, what is this guys source? Is it norse sagas, tall stories he heard at ye olde village inn, 19th century-oid serials in the newspaper, or what?

I suspect the Pathfinder Chronicles regularly emphasize the value of the "Cooperate" part of their own code, and indeed, have probably showcased times when a good team was able to accomplish something an individual could not. Even murderhobos often care about their long-term interests, so that's the only reason you really need for anything involving supporting the rest of your party.
I was being a bit facetious. Lol.
Looting: Being wasteful is a sin. The world is big, dangerous, and filled with big and dangerous things. There is always a demand for combat equipment. Even if you can't personally use the swords and armor you find, you can sell it to someone else. Maybe that customer will use it to save an orphanage? Leave nothing unlooted.
Be honest, with yourself.
If you can't arrange to get away, ensure there are no hostile or unreliable witnesses.
There is nothing of greater value than a loyal ally, unless it enough to retire on.
The MurderHobo code:
The first rule of Murderhobo Club is: You do not talk about MurderHobo code Club. The second rule of Murderhobo Club is: You do not talk about MurderHobo code Club. Third rule of Murderhobo Club: Someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over.
Graystone's Third rule of Murderhobo Club: Someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Apply Coup de Gras

If you've read some of Brandon Sanderson's more recent Mistborn books (the ones starring Wax) you'll have seen excerpts from a in-character newspaper with a serial of the kind you're describing. Less British of course.
I'm not sure how to put it as a code of honour but it's important to this sort of character that they always think of themselves as at least the equal of anyone they meet. Being gracious to everyone, even those beneath you is also important. Which isn't to say that teaching people a lesson when they need it is wrong!
Assume monsters are evil until disproven.
Yes... This includes Goblin Babies.
Avoid as much conversation with monsters as possible. That way you can have plausible deniability when it turns out you just killed the greatest chef in the Hordes of Belkzen devoting his life to redeeming his orc brethren through a healthy outlet and---
You get the idea.
Edit: Now that I think about it 'don't ask don't tell' is pretty much standard procedure.
You may only loot allies when their negative hit points exceeds their constitution score (unless they have special abilities raising their death threshold, in which case when the negative hit points exceeds that) and the cost to revive them is deemed not worth the effort, requiring a 2/3 majority vote from the whole group.
What the Paladin doesn't know can't hurt them.
XP looting always takes priority over gold looting. (However gold looting is never to be neglected. XP just comes first)
Assume all corpses were evil people who definitely deserved it so looting is completely acceptable.
The standard interrogation response is always it was for the greater good and make sure you coordinate with allies to avoid a prisoner's dilemma scenario.

No you check his pockets for lose coins and take his boots. If you Coup de Gras, then you have to sell him as a corpse instead of a slave. A Murderhobo has bills to pay and he doesn't want to personally carry all those 1cp nails he pried out after someone left them in that last building holding all that lumber in place. And a stack of these floor tiles are 5 cp. Someone hand me my crowbar...

You are looking for the AssaultHobo or the RaidHobo Guild. They share the building next door.

We here at munchkin inc. take education of those we cannot kill/rob/otherwisetakeadvantageof very seriously. Although we do not have issues with other organizations taking the blame for our crimes against humanity we do take issue with misappropriation of credit. After all teaching is worth exp.
