please look at the times

Tiger played moves 76-90 in 1 or 2 seconds when it used more than a minute for
moves 72 or 74.
Tiger without the krp vs kr tablebases could use more time.

The only explanation for the times is that tiger used the krp vs kr tablebases.
I did not check the moves with only the krp vs kr and without the krq vs kr
tablebases.

It is possible that tiger was not set up correctly(for example if it used the
chessbase interface and not the tiger interface) but I am sure that tiger used
the krp vs kr tablebases.
