If this is possible it will of course mean that if I see a Merchantman contact I will actually have to go and have a look to determine its nationality rather than being able to glance at the colour and deduce it is Allied or not.

This is how it's done in Dark Waters mod, so it's definitely possible.
With some ships you can assume nationality based on type (e.g. V&W Destroyer = UK Navy) but especially with merchant convoys early in the war, quite a few of the ships carry flags of neutral nations. So one has to be careful. I often can't make out the flags until fairly close at night, which I assume is intentional.
