It isn't fully hex, it's in SGML format, and you could see tags like
<CHRP-BOOT> and <COMPATIBLE>. This is the bootinfo file defined by
PowerPC Microprocessor Common Hardware Reference Platform (CHRP) System
Binding to IEEE Std 1275‑1994[1], providing boot options information for
the firmware.

The hex is enclosed by OS-BADGE-ICONS tag. Though isn't defined in the
CHRP specification, this seems to be an Apple extension (since it's used
by Apple's BootX, too[2]) for specifying icons for boot options. So I
don't think this is a coincidence.
