how did my OP discover this IP address?

[Ringo Kamens]

Perhaps that was an IP you typed directly in. For example, you clicked
on a web link and instead of http://domainname.tld it was
http://182.271.274.175 in which case tor would only show and IP. I'm
not sure if that's how it would appear in the log file, but it's a
guess.
