I just want to make sure if I understand correctly. You mean that the anycasted address space can be announced in different places yet with the same origin AS?

Yes, and it is commonly done.
I was under the impression anycast services with homogeneous origin AS was far more common than the heterogeneous. Almost all the instances I know of use homogeneous origin AS.
I'd be interested in statistics either way.

192.88.99.0/24, 2002::/16, and 2001::/32 are some
notable examples of heterogeneous origin AS.

I know examples of both, although I will admit I did not know any v6 ones. :)

However, I'm just interested in global stats.
