I am assuming that OP 's unpaid leave has ended, otherwise she can't be furloughed. At that point, if she is back on the books, it would look very odd if she was the only one not furloughed. As you say, race, religion, age, gender, and of course part time v full time are all possibilities, but I agree it's not automatic. 

But surely that falls under the same reason as not being employed by the cut of date, what it is stop companies stating that unpaid leave ended even if it was going to be a few more months.

Why would they? It makes no difference to them if someone already on their books is unpaid or paid but furloughed. The words of the directive are set out in my earlier post, and there is clear guidance as to when the period ends. OP idn't give us sufficient information as to whether it has ended or not, hence my assumption.
