From what I looked at IANA Special Registry, this whole range looks
like some service IPs. I mean, they provide specific service within AS.
From me then, it looks like bogon. You should not receive routing for those
addresses from other AS. (PNI is out of scope here).

This ignores note 2 on the IANA definitions page, next to 192.0.0.0/24 :

The categorization as 'bogon' or not would really be determined by
individual operator use cases, and where/how such a bogon filter is
applied.
