I believe you will find that its a Bb instrument ie its C sounds Bb and the open nodes are standard harmonic series C G C E G etc

The fingering you require depends on the part you are trying to play ie is it written for a Horn in F, Eb, Bb etc

So say if you were playing A Bb part, you'd use trumpet fingerings? Or could you use Bb Horn fingerings?

And if you were playing an F part, you would use single horn fingerings?

Don't yell at me if I am wrong (I know very little about the picc horn) but . . . .

Measure the horn with a string and see how long it is. If the horn is 3 ft long then use the regular horn fingerings for 2 octaves below the notes you are playing. That should get you close. If it is shorter than 3 ft then use the Bb fingerings 2 octaves below.

You still might need to find a couple of alternate fingerings for a note here or there.
