And the place you typically will use these is in looking at Intel's manuals in 
which case they have the <xx>_<yy>h layout.  If you want to gratuitously 
change the format, I'd vote for outputting the string as '06_2Ah'.

Note that the full ID is already printed out earlier on the same line with a
trailing 0x, so it's not clear to me that it was confusing before.
