I am interested if anyone could shed some light on citizenship/resident requirements in relation to National/USMS relay records. Is it possible for a record setting relay with one or more members of that relay, not being a US citizen(s) or even a resident(s), to be recognized as such?

Originally, I know some some Canadian swimmers registered USMS because they liked to compete in your yards meets & be eligible for some sort of record (no yards records kept in Canada). Also, upon occasion large US 'super teams' have been known to recruit for their relays from north of the border for the yards nats (this I know from personal experience; I declined ).
If a Canadian swimmer registers as USMS & competes in US metric meets as USMS, I believe they are ineligible for Canadian records or top 10.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if some Canadians haven't registered USMS simply because they live along the border in places where the nearest pool &/or club is in a US city.
