So it does appear that they added US flight numbers 64 and 65 to this as a codeshare, which is indeed AA 64/65, operated with the 767-300ER, which only exists in the legacy AA fleet:

I really hope they don't get in the habit of doing that for all flights, even though they probably think they're doing most folks a favor. We'll need to be extra vigilant on equipment type and seat maps to determine whose aircraft we are actually on when both fleet types are operated by the legacy carriers (e.g., A319 and A321). The web site should show it correct, but who knows whether travel agency sites will.

In the KVS Tool, it shows as:

[KVS Availability Tool 7.3.4/Diamond - Availability/FS/US]

Code:

JFK  New York John F Kennedy Intl NY US [KJFK]

Perhaps since it shows US/AA rather than AA/US, it's printing US 64 by default. That sounds like unintended IT behavior.
