Isn't 172.15/16 legacy Sun example space pre 1918? It's all over CCO and Sunsolve in examples and defaults.
I poked some more and the LACNIC server says it is unallocated. That was the most straightforward answer of the bunch.
It's an interesting exercise to see what the 5 RIRs return and what IANA doesn't. ;)
ARIN - "no records found" APNIC - ' 172.0.0.0 is not allocated to APNIC' but lists CC of AU
APNIC is based in Australia.
AFRINIC - '0/0', CC of EU
The CC of EU, because RIPE is based in the EU, and AFRINIC is using RIPE software, most likely initialized the same way the RIPEdb is.
LACNIC - "unallocated" RIPE - pretty much the same answer as AfriNIC
See above.
IANA - doesn't query for numbers
Thus all nicely return "Unknown", which is consistent. Greets, Jeroen
