engineRequestModel("ped") causes random skin texture mismatch

[realArshin]

Describe the bug

When using engineRequestModel on ped models, the skin textures become corrupted or mixed up.
Specifically, a ped sometimes receives textures from a different skin, seemingly at random.

This issue happens without any custom shaders or texture replacements applied manually.
As a result, peds appear with incorrect or unrelated clothing/skin textures, breaking visual consistency.

Steps to reproduce

Start MTA:SA with a clean resource (no shaders or custom textures).

Spawn one or more peds with custom skin IDs.

Call engineRequestModel(pedModelID) for those peds.

Observe the ped skins after the model is requested/loaded.

Notice that some peds randomly display textures belonging to other skins.
