Amazon MWS Unknown Marketplaces

Based on Amazon MWS documentation, we have 11 marketplaces: http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/dev_guide/DG_Endpoints.html

But when I call Sellers API ListMarketplaceParticipations, I receive the response below. The first (sim1.stores.amazon.com) and last (siprod.stores.amazon.ca) ones are not in the documentation. Does anybody know about these two marketplaces?

<ListMarketplaces>
  <Marketplace>
    <MarketplaceId>A2ZV50J4W1RKNI</MarketplaceId>
    <DefaultCountryCode>US</DefaultCountryCode>
    <DomainName>sim1.stores.amazon.com</DomainName>
    <Name>Non-Amazon</Name>
    <DefaultCurrencyCode>USD</DefaultCurrencyCode>
    <DefaultLanguageCode>en_US</DefaultLanguageCode>
  </Marketplace>
  <Marketplace>
    <MarketplaceId>A2EUQ1WTGCTBG2</MarketplaceId>
    <DefaultCountryCode>CA</DefaultCountryCode>
    <DomainName>www.amazon.ca</DomainName>

The SI CA Prod Marketplace is definitely NOT a sandbox marketplace, as our customers have valid sales in that marketplace. Based on the data, such as a SHOPIFY MerchantOrderId, an AmazonOrderId beginning with S01 and a FulfillmentChannel of Amazon, I would assume that this is a Canadian MCF marketplace, meaning fulfilled by Amazon, but sold off-Amazon. In the US, these just appear as a SalesChannel of Non-Amazon, but the SI marketplaces may have been created to differentiate the off-Amazon sales in different marketplaces from the US marketplace designator.

I know from previous discussions that there used to be "sandbox" MWS accounts but that Amazon is now hesitant to give anybody access to those. I never had a sandbox account myself, so some of the following is just an informed guess:

ATVPDKIKX0DER  is Amazon.com, using USD and english (en_US)
A2EUQ1WTGCTBG2 is Amazon.ca, using CAD and english (en_CA)

This matches the official documentation.

A2ZV50J4W1RKNI is called "Non-Amazon", using USD and english (en_US), might be the american sandbox
A1MQXOICRS2Z7M is called "SI CA Prod Marketplace", using CAD and english (en_CA), might be the canadian sandbox

If you don't have a "sandbox" account and accompanying documentation I would stay away from those marketplaces.

I tried replicating this by calling ListMarketplaceParticipations myself, but have not succeeded in getting anything but an error: "We encountered an internal error. Please contact the MWS team if this problem persists."

Edit: I don't think public documentation on those systems exist. Googling "A2ZV50J4W1RKNI" gives 4 results, one of which is on the Amazon forums stating Those Marketplaces id's might be used for internal purpose. and Sorry, Unfortunately we don't have many details about those unknown marketplace id's. Googling "A1MQXOICRS2Z7M" only leads here.
