The D on the earlier flag is probably connected with the Darya naming system. Darya Shubh still carried K14 in April 1997. The name change brought a new flag, documented by Josef Nüsse.

C448’s colours are disputed. Darya Sur was reported with a dark-blue funnel and white band in June 2001, but website and downloaded photographs suggested black to Rosanoski; NJK reaffirmed dark blue. Darya Shakti in November 2010 shows a very pale band, while Darya Vishnu in October 2001 supports cream. Nüsse’s older table flag looks cream, the later image possibly white. The company logo and table flag support orange and dark blue, while ship photographs can make the emblem look red and the wavy lines light blue. Rosanoski retains possible very dark blue and notes that photography, lighting or actual changes may explain the differences.

A starboard Darya Sur photograph of 27 June 2008 shows a white band, including paint over the ventilation panel, unlike C1319. A November 2000 portside view appears yellowish. The source nevertheless suggests any change dates from 2009, leaving the chronology uncertain.

Darya Raag’s panel was reported as extending from the aft edge about three-quarters forward, with an angled aft edge apparently following funnel shape. Darya Taal’s November 2005 photographs show panels extending about two-thirds forward before stopping at ventilation slats, without wrapping around the back. Their colour ranges from light orange-pink to yellowish between views; the emblem’s orange appears red and its blue varies from sky blue to nearly black. These photographic colours are explicitly treated with caution.

C1360 follows Darya Dyyan on 4 April 2006, with an off-white band and red logo. Rosanoski suggests that without ventilation panels the interrupted C1319 panel would extend into a band like this one.
