It seems like the receipt field contains the first receipt info, and the latest_receipt_info contains the receipt from the latest transaction. I'm waiting for the renewal to confirm that.

Assuming this, the first transaction would have those 2 fields identical.

They supposed to be different on renewal

The original_purchase_date is the date which the subscription has started (the user successfully subscribed) the purchase_date is the date where the last invoice took place (renewal for instance). both will be almost identical if its the first transaction (situation when the user just subscribed for the first time). as seen in the receipt data
