They prolly did little re-write themselves. To Reuters that they were ex Seals is NOT something noteworthy. You are talking about an European writing the headline. There is no liberal policy against using "Seal" in the headline, sorry to disappoint you. It is just the way news gathering works in the world today. I repeat IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLICY! It is about how events are reported on and who writes and distributes the headlines and stories.

Yeah, you noticed that Reuters is involved. You're the first one to see that but that changes nothing. It was
American news outlets that repeated the story and
American editors who decided what the headline would be.
