Is this a correct disk label?

I have a USB disk that I partitioned with fdisk and bsdlabel. I used the -w option of bsdlabel to write a standard label. The label itself looks fine:
# bsdlabel da0s1
# /dev/da0s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 7823576 16 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528
c: 7823592 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
What puzzles me are the entries I see under /dev/da*
# ll /dev/da0*

crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 185 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0s1a
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 185 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0s1a
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 186 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0s1c
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 192 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0s1ca
Why are there two da0s1a entries and this da0s1ca entry? That doesn't look right to me.
