    Hello,

    My best guess for this behavior is that the re_Requirement and Part ItemTypes are Poly Sources for a bigger Poly ItemType . At the very least, OOTB both of these ItemTypes have Secure Social enabled on them which automatically  makes them poly sources of the SSVCItems Poly ItemType.

    If there's a strong reason you need the itemtype ID in your responses, you can try enabling Secure Social on your custom ItemType. That worked in a quick test in my local instance. If you don't need the itemtype ID though, you can safely ignore this difference in functionality.
