Why not?
I would create lit-up proxy copies of all the units in game (stock and OH), and put them in the roster of neutral nations. Lit and unlit copies of the same unit, would still be recognized as one class in SOAN and ERM.
For neutral nations which at some point entered into war, we can limit the availablity of lit-up and unlit units through start/end date settings.
Moreover, there were some officially neutral nations whose merchant ships were sailing within allied convoys at times, or occasionally smuggled goods to England. For most of those nations I had set (back in the days I worked on OH's defsides file) two separate entries with different diplomatic positions (e.g. Panama and FreePanama), so it will be easy creating separate rosters for them, "lit" for non-valid targets, i.e. neutral ships and "unlit" for valid ones, i.e. allied ships.
Last: I would expect nations who have just entered war not to have issued a naval war policy yet (this was surely true for the USA). This is to say that some mixing of lit and unlit units during the first days from their war declaration, would have been normal and we can do the same in game.
What do you think?

Would allied fishing boats have switched their navigation lights on during war?
