And no doubt helps if they are DV in the first place. Even holding DV with one Service I believe they would need a new DV in another.
As an aside, it was cheaper to renew a PV, even if the holder was destined for a non-PV post or due to retire, than allow it to lapse and get a new clearance later.
Another thing is you were never told your clearance. It was 'probably ' true that if your clearance was for a PV post that your clearance was PV. But you might have been cleared to PV RS but if the job did not require RS then you would not be told that.
On one trip, as we were all in jobs affording TS access, and were escorted by an RAF gp capt, the US allowed us access to a secret bunker without further clearance.
