I have a standing policy with regards to anomalies generally.  It can best
be summarized as follows:

     "Kill them all.  Let god sort them out."

Of course, this attitude on my part tends to find more favor in and among
the anti-spam community, e.g. when it comes to spammers & their domains
and IP addresses, than it is likely to in the case of DB route objects,
where a bit more caution & circumspection may be obligatory.

I leave it to your good judgment as to how to resolve these 4 anomalies,
and I will just reiterate my desire to see all four resolved in some
manner so that when/if I (or you) perform this same sort of automated
analysis in the future, these won't just keep on cropping up as unexplained
oddities forever.

Hopefully that can be made to happen in one way or another.

That works for me.

Well, if it were me, I would simply annihilate them anyway, for the sin of
being goofy.

(Perhaps this general preference on my part goes a long way towards explaining
why I personally have never held any elected office.)
