The Ships List dates the N289 funnel to 1907–35 and the buff N290 funnel to 1936–37.
Early flag books show white charges and later ones yellow. Lloyds 1912 and Brown 1926 and 1929 have white charges and no anchor chain. Larousse first shows a chain, supported by a timetable brochure; that brochure also suggests a darkish-buff funnel. A postcard with yellow charges seems, from an accompanying timetable, to date about April 1933. The yellow version appears in Brown 1934 and 1943 and Talbot-Booth from 1936.
Talbot-Booth makes this flag square. Bakker’s postcard-based version retains the unresolved colour question.
