Is it correct to label this and similar chartered vessels as 'RFA'? I thought that was reserved for vessels owned by the government but such as this one were commercial charters?

I think you are correct. No pennant number either.

It would seem then that RFA is correct for them during the period of their charters, also see

SEA CRUSADER alongside at North Shields. Probably the same visit recorded by Peter.
