What is the prenthesized part of the version string in this MSBUILD reference?

One of the projects in our sln file won't load references in project rider. Seems to be related to references as that part of the project is empty in the solution explorer. Submitting the problem to Jetbrains gives a popup for DEXP-168128.

This is the bad reference that causes the issue:

<Reference Include="System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.4506.8693 (QFE.030729-8600), Culture=neutral,

and changing it to this fixed the issue:

<Reference Include="System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.4506.8693, Culture=neutral,

What is the (QFE.030729-8600) part of the version string? That's been in our code base for 7 months. It works fine in VS, but it's also the only version string like that in our entire code base.

QFE is Quick Fix Engineering, a type of hotfix. The number is probably the issue it relates to.

There are two others you may encounter, GDR which is General Distribution and LDR which is Limited Distribution.
