How would they do this without having the sources?

I have disassembled a couple things, but even TRANSF, which
is a relatively simple piece of software, took some time to
do.  And that was only so I could stick it, along with Xmodem
and Kermit, into a single program, back when I was offering
dial-up access to the SIG tapes and other such software.

What exactly are these?

And, what exactly are these?

Again, I'm asking mostly out of curiousity, but I would
like to know.  And, are you speaking about v5.7, or some
earlier release?
