Which is the correct OCTET STRING value.

Snmpwalk will simply display the value that it
receives. It can't do any clever presentation
without explicit instructions.
Two possibilities spring to mind:
a) set the typed value as 'ASN_IPADDRESS'
instead of 'ASN_OCTET_STR'
b) define the MIB object using a syntax
of InetAddressIPv4 (or equivalent)
Either of those should provide snmpwalk with
the necessary guidance to display the value
in the expected format.
But that assumes you're working with a private
MIB, and can adjust the fine details of the MIB
object definition. As Wes says, if you're using
an existing MIB (from an external source), then
you've got to follow the specification as given.
