Looking at the datasheet for the GPS001 Module it says field 1 outputs the UTC Time .

Example
060932.448
Description
UTC of position in hhmmss.sss format, (000000.00 ~
235959.99)

There seems to be a discrepancy between the example and description, the example shows 3dp while the description shows 2dp.

There does seem to be an inconsistency, and same too for GPVTG course and there may be others -

Example:
89.68
Description:
True course over ground in degrees (000.0 ~ 359.9)

As it's a manufacturer's datasheet the only way to resolve the issue would be to ask the manufacturer or test it. It may be best to assume it could be either and design for completely variable rather than fixed width fields, assume leading and trailing zeroes may be present or may not.
