Evocation_illager and Vindication_illager do not display custom items in head slot or custom held items when attacking.
Have tested with 100% drop rate and custom items drop on mob death but are not visable on living mob.
Vindicator will display iron axe when attacking even if weapon is replaced.
Tested other armor slots but seeing as they did not drop I'll leave that for suggestions on Reddit.

Ok bug closed as invalid but why is it linked to MC-55516?
This bug was in regard to head and held items not rendering, even on normal villagers custom head and held items render. This was not in reference to armor not rendering, I know normal armor slots are not on villagers.
The axe is not part of the entity nbt in general, so it can't be replaced.
Asking for the rendering of held items/armor is a feature request, and not a bug.
