I think that they are only called Kelvin's balls in the UK.
 From Wiki.

balls" in the United States. Unlike most display binnacles today, which have the balls
painted red and green to represent port and starboard side of the vessel, the balls
shall be painted black or have another uniform colour. 

It is just that I was brought up in a shipbuilding area. You could say 
that is in the blood. ;)
I also spent a couple of years working as an ET, on semi-submersible oil 
rigs. They are classed as MVs.
