Do you have examples of such BUFR files?

So I see this BUFR file is using LOCAL i.e., NON-STANDARD descriptor codes.
For example 029192; this is not a WMO standard descriptor code.

For ecCodes to decode this file, you will need to contact the supplier and ask them for their local tables.

According to the WMO, the use of local tables in messages intended for non-local or international exchange is strongly discouraged.
