Hmmm.  Not what I expected.  Ah!  Missing "1".  Try both of these instead:

for x in /dev/sd[abcdefghijkm]1 ; do echo "**** $x ****" ; dd if=$x skip=2056 count=2 2>/dev/null |strings ; done

for x in /dev/sd[abcdefghijkm]1 ; do echo "**** $x ****" ; dd if=$x skip=2048 count=1 2>/dev/null |hexdump -C ; done
