Brown’s notes describe added white lettering outlined blue across the centre of the OT flag, printed as “OT African Line” in one passage and “OT AFRICA LINE” in the later quotation. The website instead shows the wording superimposed on the flag image and extending outside its borders. Rosanoski’s reconstruction of the lettered flag is therefore an interpretation of Brown.

The funnel follows Kamina and may be a darker yellow. FOTW versions of the flag appear under both British OT Africa Line and Swedish O.T. Shipping, one in 2:1 proportions. The original flag appears to have belonged to O.T. Rederierna, as supported by a cap badge. The precise relationship between the Swedish successor and OT Africa Line remains unclear.
