Wouldn't be surprised to see "UK" reference in some shape or form...
This has long stuck out to a number of researchers - myself included.

And note timing.
Remember Steele's meetings w/Charles Farr, the former chairman of Britain’s Joint Intelligence Committee, in Nov 2016.

Farr had decided that the allegations within the Steele dossier “had to go up the chain of command.”

“Within days, according to well-placed sources, the allegations were shared with the most senior intelligence figures in the country”

“It is understood that Alex Younger, the MI6 chief, and Andrew Parker, the MI5 director general, were informed of the dossier.”
I've long thought that Steele's reporting had to be known within UK intelligence agencies - perhaps before Steele officially issued first report.

We know Steele met w/former MI6 head Richard Dearlove & former UK Ambassador to Russia, Andrew Wood in fall 2016.
But it's clear that Steele's dossier climbed UK intelligence channels in late 2016.

According to reporting by the Telegraph, just after President Trump won the 2016 election...
Which makes a formal caution from UK Intelligence to Team Trump regarding the quality of Steele's "reporting" very understandable.

Despite (or perhaps more precisely "Because of") the UK's early participation in passing along intelligence to Brennan in late 2015 and early 2016.
