Well, if it were sailing under a neutral nation, it wouldn't be a transport anyway but a passenger liner (in this case, an older one). The definitions of passenger liner and troop transport are rather interchangeable in SHIII - as the war progressed, there wouldn't be any passenger vessels which weren't being used as transports anyway. The name "Lighted Transport" was retained for this vessel because of the name Sergbuto originally chose for the clone of the AXC.
One exception would actually be the Troop Transport - there would be no need to light up that one. The landing crafts clearly mark the ship as non-civilian, and its appearance is more of a purpose-built transport. The lighted one here is a civilian design, however.
Hope this answers your question. You can rename the vessel to Old Passenger Vessel, or something like that if you like.
