assuming od is displaying the same order on a big endian machine as you'd see on a little-endian machine.
i see that od on mac is `obsolete', replaced by hexdump, which sounds fine,
but that dumps in octal too, half the time!  do they have brainstorming sessions where they invent these things?

try hexdump -C ...
and see if that makes any difference.
