Most sources give the central flag panel square, as in B349. B350 follows the National Maritime Museum flag, dated about 1951, whose panel corners are more angled; the flag measures 1168.4 × 1727.2 mm. Most sources put a dot beneath the o, but Reed 1891 and the Sampson-based FOTW image omit it. Harnack omits it beneath the fleet entry but includes it in the coloured illustrations.
Funnel-band colours vary: Reed gives black; Brown 1926, 1929 and 1934 and Mitchell give red; Ships & The Sea 1942 and the teeships account give chocolate. Rosanoski treats Lloyds 1904’s white top as a printing error. A black-and-white photograph of Umgeni confirms the funnel.
