Well, I can't find a key with this fingerprint on key servers.

It seems that it's intended to be hold a fingerprint of OpenPGP, but
it is not clear what/how this fingerprint is used for.

using these data objects.  Even, I couldn't imagine valid usage of
these data objects.

Besides, I don't understand the reason why this data object was filled
by a specific value when shipped.

Sorry for not useful information, but, those are all I could say.

Still, it would make sense to share this info.
