That is normal behavior for a FULL JOIN. You need to adjust the final SELECT to reflect the fact that any table's results could be NULL, like so:

...
)
SELECT DISTINCT 
    ...
    COALESCE(BAR.[Item No_], ILETR.[Item No_], ILEMS.[Item No_]) AS [Item No_],
    ...
    COALESCE(BAR.[Variant Code], ILETR.[Variant Code], ILEMS.[Variant Code]) AS [Variant Code]
    ...
