Album issues 1995 [pie95]
and 2000 [pay00] do not show these,
but that is probably since these are not used on sea (right?).

It may be just a co-incidence, but this flag is very similar to the Grito de Lares flag (1868) from the independence movement in Puerto Rico. The Lares flag is blue over white and the cross throughout (cruz plena); the star is, historically, yellow. It was based on the flag of the Dominican Republic, itself based on the Haitian, which was based on the same French Tricolore that served as the template for the Paraguayan national flag.

According to the book [cos98],
Arma Aérea del Ejército Paraguayo (Army aviation —
formed late 80’) use the same roundel as
the Air Force.
