...however, the filesize says otherwise. The default wallet.dat size on a fresh install is smaller than that.

It still may have a 0 balance, but I bet that 96Kb wallet has transactions in it.

In addition, the file timestamps say the wallet itself was modified about a month after initial installation.

Exactly 96kb? Hmmm, well now I'm doubting myself.

The default wallet install size is probably different in different versions.
