Previously Reported Two WRONG Flags

1)[Flag of El Oro]
image by Željko Heimer , 15 July 1996 (flag according to W.Smith (insecure))

I had a look in my sources. Smith 1975 [smi75c] shows the flag of El Oro with no comment about it. Smith 1985 ([smi85], the Spanish version of [smi80]) shows the same flag but with a footnote "There are doubts concerning several of these flags". Alvarez et.al. 1986 [alv86], a South American source, appears to have simply copied Smith 1975 and shows the flag with no comment.
Maybe Smith reported some Ecuatorian flag which was spotted at El Oro but was not the El Oro flag? Maybe that flag had some relationship with the one I spotted (same flag, no canton, lighter green) as Ecuatorian UFE?
