The original Canadian Government Merchant Marine funnel, C320, was later replaced by C201. A Lady Rodney photograph confirms C201’s band proportions. Cross proportions vary: US Navy places the intersection nearer the hoist, while Stewart gives a square rather than a circle at the centre and a diminishing horizontal arm. Brown 1929 and 1934 show a large gold maple leaf across the intersection; later sources put an apparently yellow-and-green leaf inside a white disc.
Lloyd Reedereiflaggen simplifies the central emblem to a yellow circle within a yellow ring, copied in the FOTW depiction. Rosanoski identifies the intended emblem as a maple leaf.
The National Maritime Museum flag has a green, yellow and red maple leaf on a central white disc. Dated about 1951, it measures 609.6 × 1422.4 mm. No funnel accompanies that evidence; the funnel shown is assumed to apply.
