I haven't actually checked whether MFM adds ships to the Canada Roster as I'm not at my gaming PC but if it adds M##A ships to the roster, and Frau mistook the Canadian flag for British, it might explain the situation.

I'm wondering about that too. BUT the thing is, I'm still using the Contact Color Mod, which means that other ships are coded red/green/blue on the map. Those ships were red when they appeared on the map, long before I made any attempt to ID flags, which means the game recognized them as enemy shipping as soon as they spawned and were sighted or reported.
