This is universal for all RELOAD requests and responses, regardless how many forwarding node involved:

1. The security block of a request belongs to (signed by) the requesting node.

2. The security block of a response belongs to (signed by) the responding node.

3. A forwarding node only changes the header (e.g. via list, which is why you won't find the requester and responder in via list).

Therefore, the partition check response header and body are both useless to the requester, only it's security block matters, which has the responders identity.

I hope that helps.
