(it seems odd that the API and the web UI would use a different data source.) I believe that this is correct. It’s always been the case that the APIs run on different servers/data centers/data stores. The keyword data is extra weird, because even in the web interface you can get different data between two accounts. The more an advertiser spends the better the data they get but Google deliberately makes it fuzzy for everyone.  I did look at the XHR requests when paging through results in https://ads.google.com/aw/keywordplanner/plan/keywords/historical?... but it didn't help much.
