From Steve's information...............
"On the save file I used for exploration, my total tonnage sunk was 181,244. This value, expressed in Hexidecimal, is "02 C3 FC" but in the gamesave file, it was written as "FC C3 02." My career score was 92270, or "01 68 6E" but it was written as "6E 68 01." Weird, eh??"

It's merely a matter of Endian set on your Editor for some things.
Little Endian (intel) or Big Endian (Motorola)
So as We look at the files in Hex We may need to switch back and forth to get the true answer for UnKnown Values.

Nice thing about working with Scripts and Templates in 010 is that I can account for Endian at anytime.
Swapping Endian in files is not that uncommon by the way.

Now if you want to know where the term 'Endian' came from? I can tell you that also!
