From the manual
Units with a medium to high reconnaissance level not next to a friendly land unit have their general types identified but not their combat values.

Some units with a medium reconnaissance level not next to a friendly land unit don't have their general types identified.
For example
Europe 1939
Axis
Poland 167,61 168,61 etc
Allies
German 148,58 149,57 etc

Some units with a low reconnaissance level not next to a friendly land unit have their general types identified.
For example
Europe 1939
Axis
Sweden 163,72
USSR 183,64(Only air unit have their general types identified)
USSR 183,70
Bulgaria 178,37 etc
Allies
German 149,58 150,58 etc

The bug doesn't go away when you start the game.

Page 83 is correct. I will change page 54-55 to just give general information of what recon is. Thanks.

PAGE 83
Land and Air ID Level – Land and air units are also subject to
reconnaissance. Land and air units next to an enemy reveal the most
information with estimated combat value shown. If enemy unit is
at a reconnaissance level of high or better, the type and name will
be shown. If enemy unit is at a reconnaissance level is less than high
a land or air symbol will be shown.

SUMMARY
If a land/air is next to an enemy you get the unit type, name, and values
If a unit is in high recon you get the unit type and name
If a unit is in medium recon or less you just get the land symbol or air symbol.
