If a variable doesn't have a display hint, the agent tries to guess the way to
display the value based on the content. So if there are only printable
characters, then the string form is used. otherwise the hex form is used. There
are options to snmpwalk to alway use hex, if you like. Check the snmpdcmd man
page for details..
