Strain on Shell (skin) is showing higher than solid for same node id?

I am solving one of the FE model where I have skin element created for Solid element.
Solid element- CHEXA
Skin Shell element (With thickness 0.001): CQuad4
I am observing higher strain on shell compared to solid element. I can understand there is difference in those values due to averaging method for shell vs Solid. But I am surprised to see this much difference. Can you please help me out here?

Please refer to the help for information on nodal averaging

The solver result is based on the element centroid.
