I have to correct myself here.
PTTYPE refers to partition table type, in this case "dos", which is correct.
But the question "why for /dev/sda3 only ?" stands.
Actually, it should not be included in 'blkid' display at all.
According to BLKID(8), only option -p should display this field.
# blkid -p /dev/sda
/dev/sda: PTUUID="3db012b3" PTTYPE="dos"
