I did sink a cargo/passenger ship earlier without a flag flying and it showed up on the Nav map as red and not neutral gray.

For some reason, in spite of proper flags being placed in files, Flags do not always show up on certain ships of nations added. Warship and merchant were likely Spanish.
Spanish are neutral in the mod, but to give the possibility of aggressive action by supposed neutral vessels, I have it set so they will change to Axis at then change back to neutral at various times, so one patrol they may act in hostile manner, next will ignore. Up to the player to attack or not but if risk it, could sink a neutral and lose renown, even face dismissal.
Seems the vessel you sunk (likely spanish) was not neutral at the time, lucky. lol
According to various patrol reports I read while researching for the mod, SubRon 50 boats would encounter many (hundreds in some cases) of vessels while on patrol, many they suspected to be German but because could not identify, were unable to attack.
