With a hex editor, I can see it here, at 1B8 on an MBR I've got
archived. So it's easy to spot, as it is right before the
four partition entries.

In my hex editor (editing the archived MBR sector), I see

1B8 A1 84 9D 80

and in Diskpart "detail disk" I see

Disk ID: 80 9D 84 A1

so you have to be careful when looking at it from a tools perspective.
(It took me a few minutes to realize it was backwards.)
