That's probably correct.  The old paper records didn't record band.
Today, if you submit a card for MODE credit only, ARRL will credit you
with the band automatically (assuming you didn't have that band credit
before).  It looks like you are going have to "uncheck" these in
DX4WIN, and submit them again. It's going to be hard to get "free
credit" if they have no record of which band the QSOs were made on.
