Latest firmware update showing 64bit on 32bit OS (armv7l vs aarch64) #329

I use older Buster 32bit OS on Raspberry Pi 4 for Omxplayer option. May I know why the latest firmware shows 64bit on 32bit OS (armv7l vs aarch64) Usually we identify the OS type by uname -a armv7l, but this latest firmware confusing.

Also the latest firmware changing the Hardware ID too. Which I used for some Fingerprint validation and now its failing. Hardware : BCM2711 vs Hardware : BCM2835

Kindly see the below comparison:
