The tcpdump output is hard to read (use tshark -V instead...), but IIUC
you show us two very different requests here.  The client DUID and IA_PD
IAID are both different.  Your ISP might have a one prefix per circuit
limit, causing requests from any but the first client on a circuit to be
silently ignored.

And you have also not shown us how you use the allocated prefix, making
it impossible to know if the error is in the DHCP transaction or in your
local address assignment policy. Receiving an IA_PD prefix will not
magically provide you with any IPv6 connectivity.  You'll need to split
it up and assign it to interfaces.  And you will need to set up routing
as well, possibly using a default route from an RA.
