Applicant data will include the inventor-applicants for WO records when US is a designated state.

US pre-grants will list inventors as applicants when no assignee info is present.

Since the EPO Register data updates the applicant information when reassignment of an application occurs and DocDB does not update this information, the "original" applicant may differ from the epo and intermediate formats.
