Rosanoski sees confusion between Atlantic Tank Rhederei and Atlantic Rhederei, later F. & W. or J. & W. Joch in the source accounts. The latter’s white flag has an old German black-white-red canton and blue A in the lower fly, but was attributed to Atlantic Tank. He traces the apparent confusion through Lloyds Reedereiflaggen and Talbot-Booth. Talbot-Booth 1942 notes that the A484 funnel may already have been discontinued.

Atlantic Tank versus Atlantic Rhederei allocation and actual shared use remain unresolved.
