NPC GUID collisions have also been observed. It is unknown why or when in specific they occur, but differing mob types have had a NPC ID number which corresponded to an entirely different NPC. This is considered a very rare phenomenon.

It may be the case that all of CCCDDDD is the ID of NPCs, not just DDDD.

NPC 0x3200 (12800 decimal) is a lowly creature in Feralas.
Or maybe there's simply something New And Exciting going on that we don't know about yet. NPC IDs currently only number in the 36000s, certainly still enough for a 16-bit number. So where 0x8f3200 is coming from is anyone's guess right now.
