The proposal 02-454r0 ("SPC-3 Add NAA=2 format to VPD 83") was incorporated in SPC3r10 with a typo and hasn't been corrected since.
I'll refer to SPC3r13 so that the section numbers will be clear.

In section "7.6.4.5.2 NAA IEEE Extended identifier format" there is an error in "Table 279 — NAA IEEE Extended IDENTIFIER field format".

The IEEE COMPANY_ID field should contains a 24 bit canonical form OUI but the table allocates only 16 bits.
The VENDOR SPECIFIC IDENTIFIER B should contains a 24 bit numeric value but the table allocates 32 bits.

The boundary of the IEEE COMPANY_ID and VENDOR SPECIFIC IDENTIFIER B should be between bytes 4 and 5 and not 3 and 4 as it is illustrated in the original proposal.

Regards,
Mor
