The image above right appears to be the later flag, also shown by Brown 1995, However Josef Nüsse also shows a second flag of white with the black letters "L" and "K" on either side of a short black line, which fits a 1975 description of the funnel marking. The company, formed in 1965, sold its last vessel in 1998.
