Same device different serial numbers

I'm trying to get activation lock on my ipad removed. Apple approved it but I had given them the serial number on the rear of my ipad, I've recently noticed that its different from the one that appears in itunes. Is this normal ? Are they supposed to be different ?

iPad (6th generation)
