Not sure where this comes from but it seems harmless.

So the updater refuses to work on the currently installed unbranded
ONIE.  I've looked through the scripts and it seems that the installer
contained in the onie-updater accepts a flag "-f" to bypass this
check. Even though the docs for the onie-self-update command don't
mention it, I think you should be able to pass the "-f" flag to the
updater like this (/bin/onie-self-update is just another shell script,
see how the cli_static_update_parms variable gets set there):

# onie-self-update <URL> -f

Please try this. If it doesn't work, you can als try to trick the
installer by replacing x86_64-switch_os-r0 with
x86_64-asterfusion_x312p-r0 in /etc/machine.conf

If none of this works, we would be back to using the recovery iso
image on USB but you said that doesn't work either :( Then we're
starting to run out of options...
