They are identical, and can be attributed to the superlative German engineering brought to us by SuSE!!

To leave them is no harm, and saves you the trouble of searching it out :) 
An interesting question. I just noticed that the last access time for both of mine is identical.

Set-
PERMISSION_SECURITY="easy local"
in your /etc/rc.config and this should do it; I believe this is the cause.
If this breaks other permissions you need then you are looking at creating a custom solution. But that shouldn't be too hard, after all the /etc/permissions file looks pretty editable.
