The Wikipedia page for WWN[1] tells the following:
"New addressing schema: the first nibble is either hex 5 or 6 followed
by a 3-byte vendor identifier and 36 bits for a vendor-specified
serial number"

This also matches your drives, here using c9t50014EE2AEDF73CEd0 as an example:

Nibble: 5 (4 bit / ½ byte)
Vendor identifier: 0014EE (24 bit / 3 bytes)
Serial number: 2AEDF73CE (36 bit / 4½ byte)
Total: 64 bit / 8 bytes
