Christian,

The WMO headers of products being broadcast on NOAAPORT are
the responsibility of the NWS. I see the same problem
withe the "A1" grid identifier in the TTAAII for certain MRF-alikes, 
and suggest you contact the NWS data management technical contact:

>Inquiry: Why since sept. 29th, the MRF-alike global GFS grids have improper WM
> O headers? All the MRF-alike GFS grids now come with the headers from the gri
> d #201 (the third letter being a A). The CONUS headers are no longer, and the
> y come with an A instead of the I. So I get several grids with the same heade
