Yes, those are files which are created in the repo.

That's currently the naming, but we anticipate changing it in the future
and so I strongly recommend that you do not make assumptions or depend
on that exact naming.

What is the cronjob doing..? You really shouldn't be hacking around
with things in the repo- there's commands available like archive-get to
extract out WAL files from the repo.

No.
