Here's the output of that same command on my system:

./40-permissions.rules:83:KERNEL=="null", 	MODE="0666"
./40-permissions.rules:85:KERNEL=="full",       MODE="0666"

The other files you seem to have found "udev.permissions" and 
"permissions.rules" I don't have.
I also don't have a /etc/udev/scripts directory.

However, I found a /lib/udev/devices directory that has (had now) null with 
0600 permissions.  Interesting.  I wonder does udev "copy" this null to dev 
when it creates the device?
