The company-pamphlet version is supported by pre-war sources and a cap badge. Vasagolm’s monochrome photograph confirms the common funnel. The cap-badge blues are royal blue, while Rosanoski uses the Swedish Orient Line website shade.
A second cap badge has three gold crowns in the circle, with upper crowns usually angled. Rosanoski considers both flag versions likely to have existed, perhaps concurrently, but cannot explain their relationship. Brown 1951 and 1958 and Loughran show the crowned form after the original company had ceased; Brown 1958 incorrectly names Svenska Amerika Linien. Loughran does not expressly include Amerika-Mexiko among the companies exempted from the 1925 private-use restriction on the crowns.
