It's suppose to be the same point than: 25.73408841497
69.1455073926807 expressed in EPSG:4326
In fact i took the same point for UTM, lat/lon, and eastern spatial references.

But indeed not sure that this point is or not in Finland.
Does it really matter ?

The important thing IMO to check here, is reverse axis upon different
kind of srid,

The srtext of EPSG:3038-3051 contains
AXIS["Easting",EAST],AXIS["Northing",NORTH],
so they have the same behaviour than EPSG:2393.

So no real reason to change it, even for non Scandiavian guys  :)
