Wolfgang-
At the end of my reply find the significant verbage from the 16c7xx
datasheet. In summary: only the four low order bits of the ID bytes are
supposed to be used, so MPASM is spreading the 16 bits of information in
your .2069 into four nibbles.

Four memory locations (2000h - 2003h) are designated
as ID locations where the user can store checksum or
other code-identification numbers. These locations are
not accessible during normal execution but are read-able
and writable during program/verify. It is recom-mended
that only the 4 least significant bits of the ID
location are used.
