Could it be so that there was no wish 1939-1940 to let those outside Finnish Supreme HQ to know that such a cooperation existed, as it then could be revealed to a third party so to say.
I'm thinking the victories were confirmed from every available source since the origin of the data must not always revealed in plain language but they used expressions like "saadun tiedon mukaan" (for radio intelligence) and "vahvistamattoman tiedon mukaan" (for POW interrogation).
