It's part of the secret key packet.  If you run gpg --list-packets with
--debug=2 (or with --debug-all), so that it shows you the actual numeric
data in the key representations, you'll see that skey[0] and skey[1] in
the secret key packet are exactly the same as pkey[0] and pkey[1] shown
when you --export | --list-packets (so GnuPG shows you the public key).

G'luck,
Peter
