Yes. That's what I see above. The table names are Physical_Locator and
Physical_Locator_Set, and each of them is mentioned once.
In the <monitor-requests> object "Physical_Locator" is mapped to:
{
"columns": [
"dst_ip",
"encapsulation_type",
"_uuid"
],
"select": {
"initial": true,
"insert": true,
"delete": true,
"modify": true
}
}
and similarly for "Physical_Locator_Set".

I don't understand what discrepancy you see. Can you show an example,
for example by providing how you think the above example should actually
be encoded?
