Brown 1951 places the sheaf directly on a black funnel without the band. Rosanoski regards this as probably incorrect.
The National Maritime Museum flag, dated about 1951, measures 914.4 by 1346.2 mm. Its printed sheaf is white with a scalloped yellow top edge and a red fiery interior. An upward-indented blue band separates the base, where a yellow vertical band and blue tie lie between two curved red bands on white.
