I'm still not sure how to take the mixed. They were certainly not dual citizens. What I think was happening there was the government keeping track of the number of children born to international marriages. Other research has already shown conclusively that the children of these international marriages were not citizens unless the father was a citizen because the mother, upon marrying an alien became an alien herself at that time.

Hope this helps.

I haven’t really seen that many laws that talk about wives losing their U.S. Citizenship upon marriage to a foreign national. If so they would potentially become stateless, or maybe a U.S. national but not a U.S. citizen. I don’t believe all countries automatically naturalize the wife of on its foreign nationals living abroad.
