Any thoughts on this behavior ?

What is the exact data type at those locations? What is the source code you're using to read it? The more specific data you can present, the better.

Cross-platform coding is tedious. Literally every bit has to be accounted for. Which is why in cases where space and performance aren't too much of an issue I like to use portable formats like XML or even simple ASCII text.
