I was wondering the same thing. I completed the Bolivia Redux time trial for the one-shot kill code. The next night, I re-entered an old, saved game on hard at the final battle in Japan that I could never get past on hard. I successfully entered the one-shot kill code and took out the Japanese boss straight away. (That was so satisfying!) I saved/quit the game at that point and tried to start Africa yesterday, but I couldn't enter the code again. I tried replaying and winning the Bolivia Redux time trial and re-entering the code to no avail. I'm just not talented enough to get past the game on hard without help from the unlock codes.
