No, Fairlight used 8 inch floppy discs.
As for the original question no idea.

It's also dated '96 I see now. A copy of the sounds used for a later synth/midi device ? Planned for use in a tour or maybe the Savoy live shows (in which ITN was not played)?
Re: In the night "diskette"
The listing contains a link to a sample of the contents. It appears to be the full song (but the sample chops it up so you get bits from different sections). It says it was sold as a souvenir.
It sounds to me that it's just a high quality 'rip' of the master. Not something used to create the song in the studio.
But I have no knowledge of these things. Just my opinion.

The disk is a Sony Magneto-optical (m.o) disk used throughout the 80's-and early 90's

I asked the seller. He replied, that it is the Album Version from DISCO, but in in HighRes quality.
Strange enought, how HiRes fits with a diskette...

Re: In the night "diskette"
This is obviously not 3,5 inches (1,44Mb) diskette. May be something more special.

The capacity of Magneto Optical disks can be measured in gigabytes, not megabytes - certainly these days.
Editing to add a link to this review of a piece of studio kit that uses an MO disk in recording. I'm not saying this was the recorder that was used, or even something like it; I include merely to show that MO discs were present in recording at the time: https://rapmag.com/a/249-91/oct91/825-t ... k-recorder
