Hi Alan,
With most IRs, you don’t see discrete peaks, it’s a continuous signal. This is due to the response of the speaker and microphone being used. This causes some smear. You might “segment” the IR by doing an integration of the energy from the tail to the start (IIRC, that’s a backward energy decay curve). This will show some distinctive steps , which are the strongest reflections. I’m not sure, if this can be used to identify tap positions, but my intuition tells me, it’d be starting point.
