Infra does filter filenames that match (*.sha256) from the mirror
replication, so it is possible
to use such names and have matching behavior:

Compare mirror: http://apache.cs.utah.edu/orc/orc-1.2.3/
Apache version: http://www-eu.apache.org/dist/orc/orc-1.2.3/

and you can see the sha256 files are dropped just like the *.asc files.
