And you would know this because? The JPEG is embedded in the NEF for software preview purposes. There are no outward signs that it exists and there is normally no reason for end users to have any knowledge or awareness of this internal feature/implementation detail. (Can you tell I develop software for a living?) There are tools available that can extract the embedded JPEGs for people that so desire.

For the record, your D2X generated NEF files have an embedded full size, basic quality JPEG. I am not familiar with the output of the D40X.
