Official source.
Given to editor for officially released materials (magazine, manga, poster).
CMIIW Newtype 2002-2003 listed Mu as Mwu La Flaga; on Mu case, katakana Mu for his name given emphasis for long read (more awkward to read it as Muu).
Change happened somewhere around 2011-2014, during Gundam SEED remaster process, I believe.
I'm not sure about the reason but I suspect it because of Bandai started targeting overseas audience, suddenly spelling check matters to avoid possible copyright issues.
