Understood and agreed if those details are different then they absolutely
should be registered in an assignment. Which the LIR could still do in the
scenario I mentioned. But the LIR could also decide not to register if the
infra assignment would simply duplicate their existing data. Which many
LIRs already do.

Anyway, I don’t intend on pushing the river or repeating my perspective
further. Just wanted to share my two cents :)
