Windows uses its own compression with the expand command
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/expand

These files usually have the last letter of their extension replaced by an underscore
".ic_" ".ex_" or ".dl_"

SZDD & KWAJ are the magic words that can be used to identify some of them.

Storage types can include

  1. No Compression
    
  2. No Compression, but all data inverted as camouflage against typing
    
  3. LZSS as with prior versions
    
  4. LZH
    
  5. (MS-)ZIP (as used with later Windows .CAB files)
