The problem seems to be with the H.225 NonStandardParameter. The definition of NonStandardParameter in H.225 is not the same
as in H.245. The NonStandardParameter in H.225 has an extensionmarker in NonStandardIdentifier and in H221NonStandard.

Ronnie made a fix a week ago, but it seems that it was not completely correct even if it solved the problem for all the captures I tried with.

When I made some changes as described below  I got your sample capture to be decoded correctly (I think) and it seems that my other captures are still working (I have only tried some of them yet). I have attached the results I got after my modifications and what results
the H.323-plugin gave for the same capture.

NonStandardParameter ::= SEQUENCE
{
 nonStandardIdentifier NonStandardIdentifier,
 data   OCTET STRING
}

NonStandardIdentifier ::= CHOICE
{
 object  OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
 h221NonStandard H221NonStandard,
 ...
}

H221NonStandard ::= SEQUENCE
{ t35CountryCode  INTEGER(0..255),
 t35Extension  INTEGER(0..255),
 manufacturerCode INTEGER(0..65535),
 ...
}

I think that the table for NonStandardParameter_with_extension_sequence (NonStandardParameter for H.221) should be:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

static per_sequence_t NonStandardParameter_with_extension_sequence[] = {
 { "nonStandardIdentifier", NO_EXTENSIONS, NOT_OPTIONAL,
  dissect_h245_NonStandardIdentifier_with_extension },
 { "data", NO_EXTENSIONS, NOT_OPTIONAL,
  dissect_h245_NonStandardParameterData },
 { NULL, 0, 0, NULL }
};

and then there needs to be a specific implementation of NonStandardIdentifier and H221NonStandard to be used for H.221, e.g. :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


static per_sequence_t h221NonStandard_with_extension_sequence[] = {
 { "t35CountryCode", EXTENSION_ROOT, NOT_OPTIONAL,
  dissect_h245_t35CountryCode },
 { "t35Extension", EXTENSION_ROOT, NOT_OPTIONAL, 
  dissect_h245_t35Extension },
 { "manufacturerCode", EXTENSION_ROOT, NOT_OPTIONAL,
  dissect_h245_manufacturerCode },
 { NULL, 0, 0, NULL }
};
int
dissect_h245_h221NonStandard_with_extension(tvbuff_t *tvb, int offset, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree *tree)
{
 t35CountryCode = 0;
 t35Extension = 0;
 manufacturerCode = 0;

 offset=dissect_per_sequence(tvb, offset, pinfo, tree, hf_h245_h221NonStandard, ett_h245_h221NonStandard, h221NonStandard_with_extension_sequence);

 h221NonStandard = ((t35CountryCode * 256) + t35Extension) * 65536 + manufacturerCode;

 return offset;
}



static per_choice_t NonStandardIdentifier_with_extension_choice[] = {
 { 0, "object", EXTENSION_ROOT,
  dissect_h245_object },
 { 1, "h221NonStandard", EXTENSION_ROOT, 
  dissect_h245_h221NonStandard_with_extension },
 { 0, NULL, 0, NULL }
};
static int
dissect_h245_NonStandardIdentifier_with_extension(tvbuff_t *tvb, int offset, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree *tree)
{
 guint32 value;

 *object = '\0';
 h221NonStandard = 0;

 offset=dissect_per_choice(tvb, offset, pinfo, tree, hf_h245_NonStandardIdentifier, ett_h245_NonStandardIdentifier, NonStandardIdentifier_with_extension_choice, "NonStandardIdentifier with extension", &value);

 switch (value) {
  case 0 :  /* object */
   nsp_handle = dissector_get_port_handle(nsp_object_dissector_table, adler32_str(object));
   break;
  case 1 :  /* h221NonStandard */
   nsp_handle = dissector_get_port_handle(nsp_h221_dissector_table, h221NonStandard);
   break;
  default :
   nsp_handle = NULL;
    }

 return offset;
}

The NonStandard definitions in the H.245 specifications doesn't have any extension markers:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NonStandardParameter ::=SEQUENCE
{
 nonStandardIdentifier NonStandardIdentifier,
 data  OCTET STRING
}

NonStandardIdentifier ::=CHOICE
{
 object  OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
 h221NonStandard SEQUENCE
 {
  t35CountryCode INTEGER (0..255), -- country, per T.35 Annex A
  t35Extension INTEGER (0..255), 
    -- assigned nationally unless t35CountryCode is binary
    -- 1111 1111, in which case it shall contain the country code
    -- according to T.35 Annex B
  manufacturerCode INTEGER (0..65535) -- assigned nationally
 }
}
