This *could* be a badly configured middlebox attempting to apply a DSCP, but clobbering the entire TOS byte instead of the (left justified) DSCP field.  Apparently Comcast just found a whole raft of these in their own network as part of rolling out L4S support.  Funny how they didn't notice them previously.
