Josef's flag varies from those shown by shipping sources which may indicate changes along the way. The colours are agreed to by the 1966 Liverpool Journal of Commerce sheet but it shows the letters on a white diamond. In support of this version is the fact that it appears as a panel on the funnel as confirmed by photos.

On the other hand Brown 1995 changes the red to orange and reverses the direction of the dividing line to upper hoist to lower fly, again showing a [smaller] white diamond and blue lettering.
