that would make sense, but the Germans on the Graf Spee i believe did know which ships were chasing them i believe, so wasn't sure why they had no cap ID to which ship. The only way we knew it was HMS Exeter was because the young blokes dad, Sean Bean, broke down when he heard on the radio that it was the Exeter that had been hit.

"Sailors’ hat ribbons during the World Wars
During both World Wars, various security measures were in force concerning cap ribbons and the need to keep the whereabouts of HM ships secret. In December 1914, an order was issued prohibiting the wearing of cap ribbons ashore, and in June 1915 men on leave from battleships, battlecruisers, cruisers and light cruisers were ordered to wear cap ribbons of their depot and not of their ships. During the Second World War, cap ribbons bearing only the letters 'HMS' or 'HM Destroyers/Submarines' were in use."
