The familiar Bank Line flag is more precisely Andrew Weir’s group flag. Rosanoski follows Stewart 1957 in rendering the funnel buff rather than yellow; Loughran also names buff. The service sale did not transfer this livery.
W47 is the earlier funnel and flag documented by Lloyd’s 1904 and LJC 1909; no separate written comparison is supplied.
India-Africa Line used its own blue flag with a narrow diagonal white-over-red biband running from upper hoist to lower fly.
