df = pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(data), delim_whitespace=True, index_col=[0], parse_dates=['DATETIME'])

In [237]: df.groupby('ID3')['DATETIME'].transform(lambda x: x.diff()).dtypes
Out[237]: dtype('<M8[ns]')

In [238]: df[['ID3','DATETIME']].groupby('ID3').transform(lambda x: x.diff()).dtypes
Out[238]:
DATETIME    timedelta64[ns]
dtype: object

#### Expected Output
I would expect the same DTYPEs for both:  `NDFrameGroupBy.transform()` and `SeriesGroupBy.transform()`

#### output of ``pd.show_versions()``
