For RFC 8894 I just put them on github:

  Samples of SCEP messages are available through the JSCEP project [JSCEP] in
  the src/samples directory.

  [JSCEP] "A Java implementation of the Simple Certificate Enrolment
  Protocol", commit 7410332, January 2020, <https://github.com/jscep/jscep>.

That makes things easy, you can directly download the binaries without having
to faff around with decoding whatever ad-hoc format the RFC has adopted, and
if your code is already on Github can just pull the data directly into your
project.
