Yes the system had redhat some years ago. It's entirely possible the same
partition table was used and therefore these residual files are artifacts
of a previous installation. My googling did not find any thing.

Where did you find out they are redhat files?

Have a look here:

I have found that re-using partitions without zeroing them first,
using e.g. dd, or without making a new fs over them ends up in old
files being suddenly resurrected . . .
