> Are there any specs for CAML bytecode?

Not much.  There is an old technical report (1990!) that documents
the Caml Light virtual machine in some details:

        http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/publi/ZINC.ps.gz

The Objective Caml virtual machine is a second iteration of the Caml
Light VM, with some complications removed (e.g. one stack instead of
two).  However, there is no paper spec for it.
