Whois software run by Lacnic and BR?

When trying to determine a country code for 200.150.7.132, I first tried
ARIN which pointed me to LACNIC - whois.lacnic.net:

So off to whois.nic.br:

changed:     20020621
inetnum-up:  200.150.0/19

Does anyone know what standard is being used here?  It looks like RIPE
format but very modified.  What bothers me is not the additional tags but
rather that an automated script would not be able to determine country
from their response.

Thanks,
