I am getting a similar output with later source kernel than yours:

# modinfo ntfs
filename:       /lib/modules/4.15.17-gentoo/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko.gz
license:        GPL
version:        2.1.32

vermagic:       4.15.17-gentoo SMP preempt mod_unload 
signat:         PKCS#7
signer:         
sig_key:        
sig_hashalgo:   md4

Which I find quite confusing.  Not only the keys are not shown, but the 
sig_hashalgo is md4 (cracked since 1995) instead of the SHA512 I had specified 
in my kernel .config.

I don't know the answer, but would be interested to find out.  I have only 
used kernel autogenerated keys to do this, so I can't attest if the result is 
the same when creating own keys manually.
