That's true, however they most likely would have had ties with Eastern Faction personnel (As a result of being their most valuable allies as far as I know) and also as we have seen so far Norddenovic quite quickly sends it's pilots to areas when it suits their interests. Besides, in the secretive nature of the RNAF, it's quite possible some of their forces on covert operations (assisting or resisting the Emmerians) could have been caught in the Selumna Peak engagement, resulting in their classification as enemies when their IFF squawk was picked up by the AWACS. I'm really no expert on AC: NW but those are my theories.
