Further, the difference between this and how Duckduckgo uses Bing is that DDG does a proper proxy without forwarding your IP or any info about you.

Microsoft knows what they both do, but ain't saying. Maybe they have the same contract or each syndidation partner has a unique one. Probably the latter. Trying getting a syndication partnership where you don't agree to pass on some part of the IP; I've not heard of anyone getting that but anecdotes is all I have. Microsoft (or Google in the case of their syndication partners) are not going to tell us.
