After that, just install the base NYGM mod ONE AT A TIME meaning:
NYGM 2.5
NYGM New
NYGM 3.6
NYGM 2017
Do each one at a time, start game, check out the icon issues you mention. You should not be having those problems.
Once this is done through all four of the above files, we can move onto other mods. I don't believe these files are the problem but one thing at a time will save time/effort in the long run.

Hey John, I struggled a bit more with trying to fix it before removing everything (updated sh commander as it was supposed to be, activated h.sie's supplement folder and stiebler's fixes as the last mods only before envsimact_10) and while it seemed to remove the icons, there still were some other issues so I decided to do everything from start as you advised with a clean install. Even reinstalled sh commander and jsgme. I've read the related readmes and instructions and activated mods accordingly (current modlist below). Admittedly, I could not check whether the problem persists with the application with each mode since the icons did show only for merchants (seemingly only in convoys) and only in campaigns
For instance no ship icon could be seen in the single mission "Wolfpack". Also, the friendly/neutral shipping at the start of campaign patrols in your base do not show any icon. While just now, I activated the mods on top of a clean install of SH4, started a new campaign in 1940, 2nd Flotilla, set of from Lorient, spent one hour just managing tired crew members, got an convoy reported from BDU, plotted an intercept course, just to find all the merchants lined up on my map
Just quit the game with frustration.
Also checked the tga's as advised, the ones I believe are relevant (UnitMShip.tga, UnitMShipL.tga, UnitMShipM.tga) are the same files in the game directory and NYGMV2.5 mod (all created on 7.10.2005).
Anyway thanks again for helping, would appreciate any other insights.
