Is it possible another value in the SMBIOS information contains

Nothing I've found, though I haven't looked too hard.
Looks as though the endianness changed in SMBIOS 2.6, for some unknown
reason:

This is incredibly annoying to deal with; iPXE treats a UUID (from any
source) as being an opaque sequence of bytes. It's only at the point of
converting to a text string that we care about endianness, and at that
point we have no knowledge of where the raw data came from.
