Inconsistency of aircrat type -UA FlightStatus(Cablepick.net) vs flight search UA.com

Ran into a curious inconsistency between United Flight Status via Cablepick versus United.com. This is what Cablepick shows me for United 182 departing DEN on June 8:




and this is what United's Itinerary Management shows me:



Notice the FSN via Cablepick shows UA 182 as a 737-800 while United Itinerary Management shows me the correct (I hope) aircraft of a 787-8. Since Cablepick's information comes directly from United, it is apparently going into a different database than itinerary management. Any ideas on what the different sources are and why they'd have this inconsistency?
