NEC1 could be correct; however, NECx1 or NECx2 are also possible. These are used in some Samsung equipment. DecodeIR.dll 2.42beta has support for these 32 bit NEC signals, although if used with IRTool, it doesn't show the second byte of the function number. It decodes this as NECx2, device 8.240, function 26.
The difference is that the NEC1/NEC2 lead in is 0157 00AC , while NECx1/NECx2 has lead in 00AC 00AC. So the learned signal is closer to NECx1 or NECx2, which is why DecodeIR.dll chooses NECx2. The difference may be important for repeated signals.
Chosen1, if you are so inclined, please also try:

By the way, IRversion 8.03 gives a very full decode using DecodeIR v 2.42b if the hex is imported into the Learned Signals tab:
Protocol Device Sub-device OBC .... Misc
NECx2-f16 8 240 26 8.F0.1A.1A
It shows the IRP form:
{38.6k,555,msb},1,-1|1,-3>(2609u,-4729u,A:32,1,-85.5m)+{A=$100F5858}; Alt Leadout form: ^141m
