I've never seen any public key PKCS#12 files. The only ones I've seen
have password based integrity and privacy modes using the same password
(though you can have different passwords using OpenSSL).

No, I've seen many variations. MSIE 4.0 for example had one single 
encrypted authsafe which contained a keybag and certificate bags.

Newer versions of Netscape using PSM can back up all user keys
and certificates to a single PKCS#12 file.

It could contain anything *however* its most likely to contain
certificate bags giving the full path of the corresponding 
certificates.
