IMO, this looks like a number (not a memory dump), and should appear the same 
regardless of endianness, ie. MSB is at the left.

But a memory dump would look like
	0:	0102 0304
	4:

In this case, the "first" octet would be the first listed. i.e. address 0 
would contain byte 01. (again regardless of endianness)
