When you do a show ip route, what AD is shown or, if you will, what
is the source of the route installed in the routing table?

It's always worth remembering that redistribution does _not_ occur
directly between routing protocols. It takes place between the
routing table and the protocol doing the redistribution.

When you say "redistribute foo" under a routing process, you are
really saying "import all routes of source foo that are currently in
the routing table."
