Photographs of Top Wing’s port side in July 2009 and Top Rich’s starboard side in December 2005 record this funnel. Its lettering does not match the named principal or the Panamanian single-ship owners. Rosanoski suggests it might relate to ship names or a charterer, noting that the principal may not be the true owner.

Top Fair in March 2011 and Kang Yao in June 2013 show F476. Kang Yao’s name weakens the suggestion that the lettering represents Top, but an earlier photograph from October 2001 showed her in F270 colours, so this may simply represent a change of livery.

Corporate ownership of either design and continuity between them unproved.
