What do these Multi-Document like TFS Icons Mean?

Does anyone know what these icons mean in TFS 2017 Source Control Explorer? The files are .cpp and .h... The icons for the two newly added files show up correctly (as seen below), but the existing files all turn into the multi-yellow-document... why is it replacing the icon for file type?

enter image description here

The icons initially load correctly, but seem to change after being analyzed...

I just came across a more specific solution than uninstalling all of the TFS Source Control Explorer Extension. The "icon change" functionality that is causing this can be optionally toggled on its own from Tools->Options. Set "Files icon change" = False to disable this icon behavior.

If file is branched to more than one location its icon is changed to icon as this.

File icon change

In the file list on the left side of Source Control Explorer window are branched files displayed with changed icon.
