Nikon SnapBridge and Photos

I've been looking at SnapBridge as a way to geotag photos taken with my Nikon Z5 before transferring the images to Photos. I think I got SnapBridge working fine. When I tell SnapBridge to automatically upload pictures as they are taken, they are loaded into Photos, and synced to my devices fine. On my iPhone or iPad, when I check the Info for a photo uploaded this way, I see the notice "Saved from SnapBridge" at the bottom of the info window. I don't see this if I view the info for these pictures on my Mac. I can enter "SnapBridge" in the search window and Photos does find these SnapBridge photos. Does anyone know where or how Photo tags these photos as coming from SnapBridge? I can't find it any of the EXIF data. I'm just curious. I probably wouldn't transfer my photos this way from my camera and would only transfer directly from the SD Card. I'm just trying to really understand SnapBridge. Thanks in advance.

The Photos library format contains many database tables for metadata beyond the EXIF data. The "Saved from SnapBridge" information could well be in one of them, along with other source information that doesn't have a standard-based tag defined.
