You'll notice at the bottom of each page on the Prelim Reports it states: "This information is preliminary and subject to change."
And from the sound of it your NTSB IIC did not travel to the scene so they are relying on 3rd parties for info to write the Prelim Report. But its not unusual to have discrepancies in the report like the ones you are witnessing. As they get into the Factual Report/Public Docket the details will be worked out and then the Final Report will be released with the Probable Cause of this accident.
