Another 4449 question

Back in 2011 a small group of us chased 4449 both days to Wishram, WA and return to Portland and noticed when listening to the scanner that the BNSF dispatchers called out DLMX 4449 when speaking to the special verses saying "SP" 4449. And when 4449 made the move from Brooklyn Yard to the depot on the UP mainline, UP called out "SP" 4449? I have been curious, does BNSF prefer to use DLMX instead of the "SP" initials when 4449 is operating a special on their lines?
