These packets look like normal TSO packets. Linux will send a packet containing more data than fits in a packet to the NIC. The NIC will then segment the packet for us.
In order to see what really goes out, you'll need to run a packet dump beyond the NIC.
If that is not possible, you can try disabling TSO with ethtool -K.
