In the meantime Thomas Mautsch seems to have found more terms. In a post
to de.sci.mathematik

http://groups.google.com/group/de.sci.mathematik/msg/39d8cf3d20360949

he gave

1,5,13,18,15,45,24,45,51,52,26,139,

which I fed into superseeker and got:

...
%K A007237 nonn

%A A007237 Simon Plouffe (plouffe(AT)math.uqam.ca)

List of transformations used:
T007  elements of even index in the sequence

i.e. A120062(2*n)=A007237(n)
