tedd,

It would appear your Standard DES and MD5 labels are actually both MD5.
Also--there is more than just Standard DES. Once DES was determined to
be relatively IN-secure, more algorithms like Triple DES, G-DES, DES-X,
LOKI89, and ICE were created. You might be looking at a Triple DES hash.

HTH,
