Where are you removing the Binary II wrapper?  If you are doing it on
the PC side, there is no place to store some of the Apple II specific
information such as file type and aux type so it will just disappear.
I've heard of some programs putting this type of information in the
filename but I'm not sure if Nulib2 is one of them.

The only difference between a BNY and a BXY file is that BXY is used to
let you know that the file that is wrapped is a NuFX archive (SHK or
SDK) which should have a file type of $E0 and and aux type of $8002.
