Mount point icons change

I have an issue that no one here has previously encountered and for which online searching turned up nothing so far. We have a two node Windows 2008 R2/SQL 2000 R2 cluster.  Some of the storage utilized by the cluster is mount volumes under a common mount point. The mounted volumes all have a dependency on the mount point and all fail over between nodes successfully.

My question is about the icons that are presented for the mounted volumes when they are viewed in windows explorer. Sometimes the icons are what look like four stacked file servers, sometimes the icons are half of the previous (two stacked file servers?) other times a yellow folder icon, all have the "shortcut" arrow. The icons are sometimes all the same and other times are a mix of the various possibilities. All the volumes can be browsed in Explorer irregardless of the icon being displayed. None of the icons are the same as the icons listed under the cluster Services and Applications. The icon will change for a mounted volume although when/why the change takes place hasn't been determined. 

Although this might be somewhat vague, can anyone offer any insight into what the various icons represent and why they change?

Thanks
