My US BPs always say, "Premier Exec" under my name, and then at the bottom--just above the ticket #--says "MP/UA xxxxxxxxxxx," so yeah, it does list UA on the BP. UA & US #s are different enough that they should be able to tell the difference on format alone, but I think they do still have to specify it somewhere explicitly.
