Appologies for the confusion; I'm sure it was getting the info from
the BIOS. It even knew that the panel was an IBM ITUX97.

If my box had that info available, it stands to reason that the
Reporter's box may as well.

(It did format the data in the logs as though it had used edid, but it
had to have used the BIOS to get it.)
