headers are organized into a chain before blocks are organized. I've described this process previously. this implies that there are two distinct events. these processes run concurrently, as previously described. Potential differences between these chains is not a discrepancy, it's by design. There is only one genesis block/header, which is defined in configuration. Adding "sync_reorg" to the subscriptions does not differentiate them from anything else, as all header and blocks are only obtained through reorganization. There is no published event when network merely obtains a header or block from a peer. "sync" is not a differentiating concept and "reorg" is where blocks and headers come from (hence the presence of incoming and outgoing on all header/block notifications).
