The other one is the OS header in datafile,

8192 manual calculation process;
2000 0000 after flip: 00002000, converted to decimal, that is, 8192

106240 manual calculation process:
After 9f00 0001 is flipped: 00019f00, converted to decimal, Which is 106240

Note: This article only provides calculation ideas. In fact, the conversion process of the number of db blocks is incorrect.
