Indeed I have the same here.

An archive I found from this mirror indeed gave me the same md5 as
yours :

   http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/

OK, found! 2.6 kernels are archived with tar.umask = 022 while I
did not have this config option here. If I fix the umask, I get the
same md5 as in the tarball :

  $ git config tar.umask 022
  $ git archive --format tar --prefix linux-2.6.39/ v2.6.39 | md5sum

So I can redo all the md5 sigs now :-/
