I believe it is because I don't have WO assistance checked and in my game I never got the correct page when I had a notepad. There are certain mods, Hitmans Optics for one and several others that replace the notepad with the TDC dials off to the right side of the periscope/UZO.

IIRC GWX has the notepad but I am not sure if the auto page ship ID is available or not as I probably added the optics mod right from the start.
