Identical Itineraries Different Flight Numbers
I am looking at flying IAD-ACC and among the results .bomb is returning are 2 identical itineraries, IAD-BRU-ACC, with IAD on UA and BRU-ACC on SN. The difference between the two being one itinerary has all UA flight numbers and the other has a SN flight number for BRU-ACC. I don't recall ever seeing this before. Is this something new?

Have seen this before on TPACs with an NH sector where it's (IIRC) ~$4 or so cheaper to ticket on the UA codeshare on NH as compared to the native NH numbers...

I'd recommend not buying the UA flight numbers then.

UA codeshares on many partner flights. And will sell you either option.
