The livery varies markedly across publications in stripe count and width, diamond size and star form. Griffin 1895’s A1175 has five red and five white stripes, the white half the width of the red, and five-pointed stars.

Reed 1901’s A1179 has two red and two white stripes, with the diamond at the hoist touching the top, hoist and bottom. Rosanoski’s detailed note sees three four-pointed stars and a fourth possibly with five points; his later comparison calls the stars four-pointed.

Lloyds 1904 and 1912 give A1178 three red and two white stripes with six-pointed stars. The apparent funnel band may instead be a boundary above which the funnel should have been painted black.

Reed 1912 centres the diamond, touching the upper and lower edges. Rosanoski finds the star points unclear, with five seeming likely. The funnel carries a blue flag with white “CA”.

Brown 1926–43 uses five red-and-white stripes, a blue diamond and white “CA” surrounded by four white stars. Early versions have eight points; in later small drawings they become nearly circular. The funnel band is more definite in this version. Jarig Bakker’s FOTW image follows Brown 1926.

The eight-equal-stripe group includes differing stars: Enoch 1927 gives five points, while Massary 1930 and Lloyds Reedereiflaggen 1933 use diamonds. Mathies shows five-pointed stars directed inwards: the top inverted, bottom upright and side stars angled towards the centre. Rosanoski notes that Klaus-Michael Schneider’s FOTW version instead has eight-pointed stars. He had not seen the cited 1897 chart and could not find the company in his Carly copy, leaving possible edition differences unresolved.

The Flaggenbuch examples have eight stripes with red somewhat wider than white and indistinct star points. The discussion cites 1928 and 1931, while the individual Sources entries identify A1181 with 1928 and A1182 with 1934; those references are retained separately.

Esso 1958 gives eight equal stripes and four-pointed stars.

The funnel sources also differ. Flaggenbuch 1928, Enoch and Massary show a black funnel with a blue flag on a pole bearing white “CA”. Talbot-Booth 1942 and 1944 give two alternatives: the eight-striped flag as a funnel band, or that flag on a pole but with an empty diamond. Rosanoski suggests that size might explain the missing charge, while noting that the similarly small band version still includes it.
