The format of an usmUser entry basically follows the layout of 
SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmUserTable:

usmUser <userStatus> <userStorageType> <engineID> <name> <secName> 
<cloneFrom> <authProtocol> <authKey> <privProtocol> <privKey> 
<userPublicString>

To identify the USM user in question, just have a look at the <name> 
field which contains the user name in hex format.
