Google Local Results are not being parsed in search queries

In the last 100 or so search queries I have performed, about 1 out of 10 queries do not have the google local data attached to them. For example, take a look at these searches
and here is the outputted HTML
The google local results are present on the html, but they are not present in the JSON result of that search query. Google seems to be trying different styles/formatting for google local, and it seems when google is using the updated styling (like in the link above) that SERP API is unable to scrape the local results.
I have more examples of this. Check out these JSON searches along with the outputted HTML
In the above links, the HTML shows the google my business (local) results, but does not include it in the JSON response.
However, when google is using the existing google my business (local) results, SERP API is able to scrape the results just fine like in this working example
Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions about this issue.

Mr. Newman,
Your last search inspect page was expired. So I don't know what's inside last two links. But I am assuming it was of the same nature.
Thank you for your detailed breakdown. Here are the updates on the situation:
- Local Ads on Desktop Searches have been updated and now they a re parsed.
- Their mobile kind is also parsed and they are also updated.
- Some misparses, especially in mobile searches are now parsing right fields under right names.
- Some of the mock GPS values with latitude 0.0, longitude 0.0 is now emitted.
- Local Ads that usually appear on top of the page, unrelated from the map, are now parsed as well.
