Cradlepoint MAC Address Weirdness

So, I've been working a lot with getting Cradlepoints up for Black Friday, and have noticed that they will have MAC addresses with OUI of 2a:30:44 as reported by the Switch and Router.

But this isn't a valid OUI. If I check, it isn't owned by anybody. I check the actual device and it shows an OUI of 00:30:44, which is shown to be owned by Cradlepoint.

This happens on every device and in every store. Might anybody have any insight about why this is happening? Other techs just accept it as weird and move on, because it really doesn't hurt anything.
