The Ships List dates H757’s funnel to 1860–65, followed by H753.

LJC 1909 records this form for T & J Harrison.

The house flag is white with a large red cross formy, but sources vary greatly in cross breadth and in straight or curved sides. Rosanoski treats the actual National Maritime Museum flag, recorded as Charente and dated 1955–67, as the strongest guide: its cross has straight sides. H756 and H16 represent published variations rather than proven stages in a sequence. Larousse’s cross almost fills the field. The C1400 funnel follows an Inanda photograph with bands in proportions 5:4:5. Other funnel illustrations also vary in band widths.

The square flag illustration leaves more white than Larousse’s version. Rosanoski traced its old reference to a flag logo used with freight schedules, rather than an actual flag.

This funnel is given as an alternative.

The commodore’s flag is a red swallowtail with four white cones in saltire at the hoist. Depictions again differ: the Scott/Caltex version and its Marine News reproduction have straight sides, while Loughran’s version has curved sides, without the same narrow points where the arms meet. Rosanoski could not establish whether these differences represented changes or simply differing illustrations.
