That is very typical of telecom equipment:  All major subsystems (often
== each PCB) has some sort of memory chip with serial number, type,
revision level, ECOs etc etc.  Some of them even update a counter
with power-on-hours on each card and append the shelf serial number
to a history list to give a history for the board.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
