The reason for this, is that you can have a hybrid GPT partition, which
also has MBR signatures for older bioses etc. So in fdisk, you will see
on the MBR signatures. to see the GPT signatures you need parted, or I
think gdisk? You can use these to flag which partitions will be in the
hybrid mbr tables.
