The funnel bears a white and red comet, identified by Marinart as the owners’ Total emblem. Ocean Ships 1967, Marinart and Talbot-Booth omit a black top, but a black-and-white photograph of Croix du Sud indicates a very narrow one. Merchant Ships 1959 confirms this as an alternative funnel.

Loughran gives C579 as an alternative without further comment.
