Brown 1951 leaves the funnel colour unclear, possibly dark yellow or buff.

Merchant Ships 1959 shows a defined funnel panel.

The emblem is described as the upper half of a gold five-pointed star above an orange six-wavy-pointed star, with a gold lower wheel-like outline. Rosanoski questions the US Navy use of orange rather than red.

The flag is white with a red saltire and a central white shield edged red. Some sources stop the saltire short of the edges, others extend it throughout. The emblem has been described as a yellow flower or a rising sun over a Tudor rose. Rosanoski’s clearer black-and-white Talbot-Booth scan appears to show a gold upper star, red wavy star and shield frame, a touch of red at the base, and a gold lower frame; a Tudor rose would fit the Welsh context but is not established. The National Maritime Museum flag measures 1320.8 by 685.8.
