The flag’s ring varies in thickness. Brown 1929 and 1934 and LJC 1930 show a thicker ring than C1232, but not as thick as C1233, with the star clear of it. Brown 1943 instead shows a narrow ring touched by the star.
Jordan describes a white six-pointed star within a white circle, presumably meaning a ring. Talbot-Booth’s funnel is unclear until Ships & The Sea 1942, which distinctly shows a narrow white ring touched by all six points, unlike Lloyds 1912.
Medomsley retained Carrick livery until about its wartime transfer to Buries, Markes, then adopted its own design, catalogued separately as M701. Rosanoski associates this approximately with the disputed 1943 or later Van Ommeren takeover.
