LR not apply "Camera Setting" if not imported via LR - why?

Hitting a big of a LR snag and I can't figure it out. Posting here to see if anyone might know. I have set my LR defaults to "Camera Settings" for RAW files (see attached screenshot).What this does is apply the LR profile (i.e. Camera Standard, Camera Monochrome, etc.) if I shot it that way in-camera. This allows me to select (via metadata filter) all images with B&W treatment and apply my own B&W preset and all images with colour treatment and apply my own colour preset.This is an easy way for me to shoot colour/B&W in-camera and then quickly get back to that (with my presets) in a semi-automated way, in LR.This works great if I import from the card in LR. But if I import and do selects in Photo Mechanic and THEN import those into LR (same RAW files), LR treats them all with "Camera Standard" and ignores the B&W treatment.Does anyone have any idea why?
