The flag is red-yellow-red with Y.B. lettering. An enamelled Avoceta badge acquired on a 1928 Canary Islands cruise has gold letters, whereas the company website shows black; the contributor considers gold probably an enamelling choice. FOTW portrays equal bands. Sources vary over dots and hyphens: several Brown and Talbot-Booth illustrations omit dots, LJC 1930 adds hyphens after both letters, and Merchant Ships allows dots or a black hyphen between them. A monochrome Ardeola photograph confirms the funnel.
LJC 1909 supplies this funnel and flag variant; no separate verbal comparison is given.
