One explanation.. it's in our Ops Manual...because:

Our paper flight plans show Initial True Track between waypoint pairs but only gives Mean Magnetic Track between the two. Sticking the Hdg ref into True on the NATs means immediately after waypoint crossing you have an a indication that you have turned onto the correct track to the next waypoint...something Spooky 2 mentioned. What does your Ops Manual say?
