The MR can be appointed in any way good for the internal communication of the company. It could even be in the management review record, A letter issued, An e-mail to the person.
If all the other personnel identify the same gentleman as the MR then it is communicated well.
There is no requirement in ISO 9001:2008 to document or record the name of the QMR.
Is it a good idea? It certainly is.
Is it a NC for not doing it? You would be hard-pressed to prove that based on the requirements of the standard. The company's own internal requirements are another matter, though.
Where do you believe the Non-Conformance to be?
The standard does not always spell out the specific requirements. You have to look for the intent of the requirement. An example is 5.6.1 (Top management shall review the organization's quality management system, at planned intervals). If a company conducts MR every 2 years, it is probably a N/C, although the standard does not establish the frequency.
It is a N/C IMO because it did not meet the intent of the standard:
"Top management shall appoint a member of the organization?s management who ...."
I don't even know who is the official MR of the company.

You did not answer to a question of mine: did you speak with MR during the audit time? Did you check during mgmt. review audit this item by interviewing top mgmt.? Did you review they communicate responsibility and authorities across the whole organization?The standard does not always spell out the specific requirements.
