The bug
In 18w50a, most projectiles that have a "2D" texture now have an Item tag, which chooses the specific item stack to render. However, this change was not applied to the ender dragon's fireballs. While one could argue that this is because Mojang did not change mob-exclusive fireballs, big fireballs fired from ghasts do have the Item tag.
What I expected to happen:
The Item tag would work on dragon fireballs
What actually happened:
The Item tag didn't affect the dragon fireball at all
How to reproduce:
Summon a fireball with
Itemset to "{id:ender_pearl,Count:1b}"Summon a dragon fireball with
Itemset to "{id:ender_pearl,Count:1b}"

Wither skulls are 3D models, obviously in the shape of skulls. While it would be nice to be able to modify them, I'd save that for the minecraft suggestions subreddit or minecraft feedback site.
If you look closely, the snowballs and fireballs actually do render 3d too.
Just mention them, can't hurt, if anything, they'll just say that one is fixed and the other intentional, but that's fine, at least they'd be aware.

Also the case for wither skulls, might as well be mentioned.
