But the story does not answer my question:  In those days, they did not use

those days was American Morse Code.
Did the re-enactment guys learn American Morse?  The guy said he learned it
from his ham-radio dad.

I'm not very good at reading Morse from sounders, but I'm pretty sure I heard 
multiple dah lengths, which would indicate American Morse.
