I found at least one machine where I can always reproduce the problem.

Done. Here is the minimal set:

# nmap -sS -sU -sR -p T:55491,U:111 <victim>

This system is not reachable from the Internet. Here are the requested
outputs.

I can reproduce this using these commands:

ncat -l 55491 -k --send-only
ncat --udp -l 111 --sh-exec "/bin/cat > /dev/null"
nmap -sSUR -p T:55491,U:111 localhost
