AFAIU, your tabulate call returns string, not a python table. So, :var
assignment indeed assigns a string. The returned string also happens to
use Org table format, which is why results block is an Org table.

By putting #+NAME to results block, you will be referring to its Org
syntax, which is then converted from Org table to R table, in contrast
to from Python result string to R string.
