Impossible to tell --- we can't look into those people's heads, see?
You should rather ask the authors of those sources directly.

In principle, such arrays can of course always be typed in by
hand. But there do exist quite some tools for this kind of task.
DJGPP has one itself: 'bin2h', which you may want to look up in the
user guide.

One other possible source is the Unix/X11 bitmap file format XBM (or
XPM, its colored variant). That's a picture fileformat which is
syntactically valid C, at the same time.
