Is the entire payload something that should be dissected for the
protocol being used for that X.25 session?

The case you added appears to be the part that handles CALL REQUEST
payloads that might contain an X.263/ISO 9577 NLPID; is the expectation
that the PDUs for the protocol running atop X.25 start with the NLPID
for that protocol?

Is there any reason *not* to decode them?
