I've figured this out. :-)

The original posting is from 1995, when people still cared about packet radio
and to many usenet was new and exciting. The reason it took so long is that
it was behind a posting of a shack photo sent as a .BMP (windows bitmap file)
and it took 15 years to be transmitted.

It then ended up in packet to usenet gateway, which added the modern headers.
