AbEntry vs Company record type key encoding

Hello API Team,

I would like to ask about record type encoding.

I noticed that I can I have a single record in Maximizer of type AbEntry/Company and two different encodings.

Example: (demonstration purpose only - removed real values for obvious reasons)

Company <1234569874569854123666>C 0

AbEntry <1234569874569854123666>C 0

This is causing confusion as depending how the keys are extracted (programmatically) one gets different key.

how can I ensure consistency between reading the keys?

Thank you
