Not from me, no.  I don't know why this happens on your machine.  My
samba is connected with my AD and I'm accessing it with my AD account.
/etc/samba/smbusers contains

corinna = VINSCHEN\corinna

But still, the SIDs I get returned for my Linux uid is one of the
S-1-22-1-X type.  I don't know Samba good enough to explain the
difference, sorry.

You would have to do that for None, which is tricky given the restrictions
in the Windows UI.  Alternatively, try to set your primary group to Users
in /etc/passwd by setting it to 545.

Or, try the same trick as for your user account with the None group in
/etc/groups.
