It's consistent with what the IB spec says (IBA 1.2 vol 1 p.948) as to
how these quantities are counted. They are defined to be octets divided
by 4 so the choice is to display them the same as the actual quantity
(which is why they are named Data rather than Octets) or to multiply by
4 for Octets. The former choice was made.
