AMAL NAVIGATION CO. LTD.

Mitchell’s pencil notes cast doubt on his own illustration: “small red” presumably concerns the red bands, while “blk AMAL” suggests black lettering rather than the illustrated green.

The colours in A688 are inferred from black-and-white hatching that the book’s authors expressly say has no meaning; the design layout is only presumed correct. The original’s very narrow white diagonal strokes were widened minimally to make the A crossbars visible. The black marking is an anchor behind the white stripe.

The archive itself records Hungary, Greek management and later Lebanese registration. These are not interchangeable and the reorganisation chronology is unresolved; keep a dated-jurisdiction review rather than overwrite Lebanon from one source. A688 colours were inferred from hatching explicitly described as non-colour coding.
