Chris Breemer wrote, regarding MPE/iX tar:

I also found out that on restoring I have to use the 'p' options in
addition to the 'o' option to get files back with the original
permissions. Does not seem standard behavior to me.
--------------

Could this be the reason that some Posix freeware distributions fail to
come out with proper permissions?  The instructions for installing the
5.5 distribution of Java/iX specifically read: tar xovf TARFILE ('p' is
not listed).
