Cougar: AIP ENR 62.1:
Before descending from controlled into Class G airspace and before separation with any aircraft operating near the base of controlled airspace can be compromised, the pilot in command of an IFR flight must report position, level, intentions and estimate for next position/destination to the ATS unit providing services in Class G airspace. If the report is made using HF radio, a broadcast must be made on the appropriate area VHF frequency.
There is no exemption for being identified & is mandatory.
Identified = no position reports only applies in A,C & D airspace. For E & G position reports are required for IFR, identified or not.
AIP ENR 10.2:
Except when identified, position reports are required for all aircraft in classes A, C and D airspace, and for IFR flights or flights using the IFR Pick‐up procedure after initial contact with ATC in classes E and G airspace.
That paragraph is particularly badly worded. The "except when identified" only applies to A, C & D airspace. The comma after "D airspace" breaks the link to "except when identified" for the rest of the sentence.
Read it as:
Except when identified, position reports are required for all aircraft in classes A, C and D airspace.
Position reports are required for IFR flights or flights using the IFR Pick‐up procedure after initial contact with ATC in classes E and G airspace.
Ain't English great!
