There's your answer... OEMSR2 is a preinstall-only.  If you installed
regular Windows 95, you didn't install OEMSR2 (unless you are an OEM?).

Tony@Dell answered the question of whether or not OEMSR2's INT 21
code used during boot can "see" VFAT and not just VFAT32 (it can),
so it's less anomalous anyway.
