In version v0.15.0, the three textures of the Nether Reactor Core were switched with the textures from the Plastic ressource pack, meaning that the vanilla game and the Plastic ressource pack use the wrong textures.
Although not officially supported anymore, in old Pocket Edition world were it is still present, you can clearly see that it uses the wrong texture.
You can see in the attachments below the textures the block is supposed to have on the left and on the right the ones it uses from the Plastic ressource pack.
This issue will not be fixed, see MCPE-15808.
