They wouldn't need to - the mere fact that such a significant infrastructure exists for the Deathwatch within the Jericho Reach suggests and allows for a larger-than-average concentration of Deathwatch Killteams, which means that those Killteams will be present in a variety of warzones across the Reach, where their presence will be noted by other Imperial forces - Killteams spotted by/interacting with Guard, Sororitas and conventional Astartes forces on the ground, Deathwatch vessels spotted by Navy squadrons, and so forth.
Whether or not the infrastructure is known about by the crusade forces is irrelevant - the fact that the infrastructure exists and allows so comparatively large a number of Deathwatch Marines to be present means that their presence is much less likely to go unnoticed and unremarked-upon. It's more difficult to hide hundreds of men than it is to hide a dozen, no matter how carefully and subtly you deploy them.
