It's easy to see them in use on, for example, a modern Fedora Core Server - like on version 30 — in the network configuration scripts found in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory.
Okay, I want to change things around by hand; how do I find these on my own without having to do a fresh install?
What I really want to do is have my network script correctly identify the NIC I want to configure. Please see this question for background.

Do you want to find these things on your own or do you want to change/create them on your own? Look at this article on how to generate UUID’s manually to see if that helps.

They've long been a minor mystery I haven't had time to figure out, so I appreciate the pointer. ...So, does that mean Fedora is just creating them on the fly and assigning them somehow? Hmmm... Will go read from your link. – Richard T – 2019-11-11T01:11:27.837
@JakeGould Two quick points: 1) I just updated the question, and 2) I bet you could fashion your comment into a correct answer... – Richard T – 2019-11-11T01:16:27.423
