blockchain.information – That means of xPub in SegWit pockets on blockchain.com and their legacy-type addresses

In keeping with my understanding, an xPub of a Legacy sub-wallet ought to start with xpub... and of a SegWit sub-wallet with zpub.... And the addresses start with 1 and bc1 respectively.
However on blockchain.com (the place I solely have one pockets) for the SegWit sub-wallet I get an xPub starting with xpub... as an alternative of ypub.... And the addresses generated with this additionally start with 1.

When exporting the xPub from Electrum native-SegWit sub-wallet with the identical xPrv, I get an xPub starting with zpub..., as anticipated.

Is there a function on offering the xPub for a SegWit sub-wallet as an alternative of the zPub? Addresses created with the xPub do not present up neither on blockchain.com nor in Electrum.

After being inquisitive about this, I used each xPubs on blockchain.com xpub explorer (https://www.blockchain.com/de/explorer/property/btc/xpub/xpub6CM…) and located all transactions on the corresponding addresses. As anticipated, older ones on Legacy addresses, newer ones on SegWit addresses.

And to my shock, with the xPub of the SegWit sub-wallet I additionally discovered an deal with with steadiness on it throughout the addresses starting with 1. This deal with does not present up neither on blockchain.com nor in Electrum(Legacy & native-SegWig). However additionally it is discovered with this software (https://blockpath.com/wallets/native/101?motion=appxpub) with index m/0/2.

Along with my first query, how is it attainable to get entry to this deal with?
