Simon,
Do you have newer documentation? Because both the NCEP and EUMETSAT docs for
template 4.3 have bytes 23-34 designated for 1st and 2nd fixed surfaces. I
understand that these values are probably not used in space products.

Hello Robb,
I am glad you are getting further with decoding the data.
From your question about the first and second surface types I get the impression you are
using Product Definition Template 4.0 to interpret the data.> In fact, when you detected
"Product Definition : 30 Satellite product", this should trigger you to use
Product Definition Template 4.30 to interpret Section 4. There you will find that there are
no references to first and second surfaces, but rather other information describing the
satellite data.
You mention that you have never seen a model using these values, but I guess
this is a simple misunderstanding, as we do not generate these values in any
case.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Simon
