Hmm... Maybe you don't see this, but I see the following:

0x03E803C9 = 65536 (i.e. 2^16) * 1000 + 969
0x01F4009D = 32768 (i.e. 2^15) * 1000 + 157

Pretty much sounds like a bit 15 for standard mode and bit 16 for fast modes
shifted by 1000 to have a room for the time in presumably nanoseconds up to 1
us.

Please, dig up into the documentation, vendor chat, etc to get more information
on these values.

OK. Name collision still stays.
