Please have a closer look at the MIB file:

  a)   It is rooted at   netSnmp(8072).netSnmpExamples(2).255
        *not*  ucdavis(2021).255

  b)  It defines
          'Example MIB objects for "pass" and "pass-persist" extension script'
       i.e. local/passtest and local/passtest.pl

This particular MIB file is not related to the 'example/example.c' code
(although the objects may well be the same)

The examples.c code is much earlier, dating from the v4 UCD era.
I can't remember whether we ever officially defined a MIB file
for these objects.
  Certainly, with the move to Net-SNMP (v5), we started being a
lot more rigourous in the MIB provision.  But there are still elements
of the early, laissez faire approach kicking around - examples/example.c
may well be one of these.
