An actual table flag largely confirms Schneider’s first version with a black anchor, but differs in the shield frame’s colour and clearly shows a fouled anchor. The Marcollect example also shows the foul, less distinctly.
The alternative has a red, unfouled anchor. Schneider considers this perhaps erroneous; Rosanoski regards it as doubtful but worth recording because it appears in Esso 1956 and 1958 and Flaggen & Schornsteine 1957, around the period of Lauting’s ownership.
The funnel panel has six sides and no stops after its letters. All sources show stops after the letters on the flag.
