The Ofotens livery appears to have continued, with small source differences. Brown 1995 gives narrow white bands along the flag’s top and bottom; Bakker’s version slightly widens them and stretches the diamond horizontally. Mitchell widens the red funnel band and makes the O black. Rosanoski later suggests the Brown flag either predates the photographed version or mistakenly repeats the white edging of the funnel.

Lofoten’s wide funnel has a horizontally elongated diamond and an O with straight sides and angled corners. Its tattered flag has a generous diamond and a rounder, zero-like O, appearing black but probably worn blue. The fly’s damage lets the diamond reach the edge. Photographs do not clearly establish white edge bands: a white sky could conceal them, although later darker-background views still suggest their absence. Rosanoski’s later comment accepts Candeias’s version as an actual flag documented in 1995 and 2005, distinct from Brown’s.
