In his earlier career as he was rising, Murray was actually always quite insistent in being referred to as Scottish, not British, and I believe there was a bit of a strop thrown over once being referred to by a non-UK commentator as English.
The "proud British" stuff only came after he became a real grand slam competitor and yes was almost certainly down to PR advice rather than his own feelings.
