I don't know, but it _could_ be true. The TI torpedo usually moves faster, so it's more likely to detect ship's magnetical field (rule is simple - faster relative movement means bigger field fluctuations in the same amount of time, and that means that the trigger would be better informed about presence of the ship).
But this is only a hipothesis, as I don't know details of the magnetic triggers. It could be that their detector was designed to detect ship's magnetic field without any need to move while detecting. Not sure.
