I'd guess they didnt change names because all three were already Australian ships by the outbreak of the war, 511 and luigi both changed nations during the war.

That and they didnt really do anything of note before their name changes (Sydney didnt even get commisioned into the RN, she got bought while under construction).

It's also not entirely unprecedented in KC, Shinyou didnt start as scharnhorst for example.
