I've discovered what the difference is here. Our AdWords API request asked
for "AdNetworkType1", which results in Search Network ( in this example ).
The Ads API column is segments.ad_network_type which can result in Search
or Search Partners.
So, AdWords API would group both those types into one, where the Ads API
will segment them out. We're transforming the value to Search Network in
order to maintain parity with previously expected values.
I'll have to do some more work on my end for this.
