This is categorically different from every other country checked in this lane (all under 2.5% gap): for a currency undergoing extreme, multi-rate devaluation, "GDP in current US$" is not one number two sources happen to round differently โ€” it is two sources making structurally different assumptions about which exchange rate converts local output to dollars, and the resulting figures are not reconcilable without knowing which rate each used (neither API's metadata states it).
