Taking a guess I'd say it might have something to do with naming as you stated or probability of getting a boat of X class when offered an upgrade. Or it could be a leftover unimplemented game mechanic.


Edit to add better explanation after reading Bubbleheads post:


IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F1Porpoise, 4



Yellow highlight references Flotillas.upc. Each boat will have its own [Flotilla X.UserPlayerUnitType X] entry. F for Flotilla number, Pearl for example is Flotilla 1.


Red highlight also references Flotillas.upc under its appropriate entry for UnitTypeCommonality=. This has a number associated with it and the note in the file states "to be used when a random choice is assigned." That could have something to do with what boat you get offered, but I haven't tested this aspect.
