The WL-rank of a graph Γ is defined to be the rank of the coherent configuration of Γ. The WL-dimension of Γ is defined to be the smallest positive integer m for which Γ is identified by the m-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm. We establish that some families of strictly Deza dihedrants have WL-rank 4 or 5 and WL-dimension 2. Computer calculations imply that every strictly Deza dihedrant with at most 59 vertices is circulant or belongs to one of the above families. We also construct a new infinite family of strictly Deza dihedrants whose WL-rank is a linear function of the number of vertices.
