M420 was used by Cote-des-Legends in 1955–60, M421 by Ville-de-Saint-Pierre in 1956–61, and M422 by Douce-France in a period printed as “1960-9165”. M423 and M424 appear to be alternatives used from the beginning of 1965.

Mitchell shows a broad band and an M with a shallow fork, apparently based on his line drawing of Mejean III.

Brown 1982 attributes this livery to Marseille-Frêt S.A.

The FOTW image originated with a logo. Jorge Candeias describes the flag reproduced in Publico’s Carga e Transportes supplement as white with two thin blue stripes at the upper and lower edges and red MF letters in the white field.

Josef Nüsse’s table flag, also illustrated by Ivan Sache, is blue with horizontal black margins and a red MF. The letters resemble, but are not identical to, those in Candeias’s image.

This funnel belongs to the chartered Marfret Normandie, photographed on 20 September 2006. The company website logo did not confirm the contemporary shape of the M.
