You're correct on the zero placements. This article may provide some clarity relating to determining what MAC addresses you may see at the switch level, as layer 2 and 3 traffic will likely have different MAC addresses:

So the vlan interface will be the source of IP traffic, whereas the physical interface will source things like STP. Sounds like the 03 MAC you're referring to is assigned to your 330 vlan, which should be visible in the GUI.
