Solution:
The problem was with the RU patch binaries, looks the files were not copied properly, extracting the binaries properly from the zip file has fixed the problem!
Initially, copied the "extracted" RU binary files from another node, seems they were incomplete.
# unzip -d /u01/oracle/RU_PATCHES p29708769_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip
