I would suggest you ask Allwhois the question as most of us have no idea
how their service works.
A quick glance shows that Allwhois is the whois service od a registrar
named Alldomains.com. This probably explains why they don't list OpenSRS
domains. OpenSRS domains are not registered through
Alldomains.com. OpenSRS is a different competing registrar of Alldomains.

At least they got the disclaimer right...
I would also add that you shouldn't expect one registrar's whois to show
accurate information for another registrar's customers.
