Noone knows excactly :)
But in telco within SS7 protocol, almost all numbers are reversed (vlr,hlr,imsi etc.)
In older days on slow networking, every bit matters, thats why SS7 is so optimized.
I believe it has to do with a speed when number has odd length.
In newer protocols (like Volte) there is no such thing anymore.
