The raw INS, IRU and IRS units all display wind as degrees true. The basic unit must have a data base to convert from true degrees. An FMC or FMGS is the usual way of adding the mag correction.
Position reports oceanic are degrees true.

You are quite correct. I was assuming that Navajo King was referring to what was readily displayed to the pilot from the INS data. In the aircraft I fly unless I delve deep into the FM it isn’t displayed to me. What I do get displayed to me is wind information on the Nav display in deg magnetic after it has been processed by the FM from the IRS.
