Egress IP address of AKS with network_profile outbound_type loadBalancer and flat network model

What is the IP address that a pod would take to go out of the AKS cluster with cluster network_profile outbound_type loadBalancer and flat network model?

Public ip of SLB could be used when pod's egress traffic going to external network (i.e. the internet), but what about when pod calling a service that hosted in private network within the same azure network? is that correct if the egress IP now is pod private ip of the subnet instead of public ip of standard load balancer?

Could you please refer a Microsoft document mentioning this topic. I've already went through these links, but none of them mentions:
