Is IB being used for historical data downloads even with SC data?

We can see "Service: ib" is being used and then immediately right after that "Using user Barchart". I also don't know what's up with the 1966 start date, but that's what it's doing.

You can disregard the "Service: ib". The data is coming from the Barchart server in this case.
