Project vs. collection

Some time ago, I've discussed the identity of the account that TFS agent jobs are using to connect back to TFS via the distributedTask PowerShell context variable, or the equivalent System.AccessToken release variable. Back at the time, I've concluded that the identity behind that token was "Build Service (CollectionName)". Well, just today I've encountered a case where a release was running under a different identity - "ProjectName Build Service (CollectionName)". Both coexist.
