Cochrane and Elliott [cos98] show a green Solomon seal with a gold crown above on red disc, while Wheeler [whe86] shows a gold Solomon seal (inside areas in green). Both are correct: Alkowat al malakiya al jawiya (formed 19 November 1956) uses green seal (red inside) on non-combat planes

Al Qawwat al Jawwiya al Malakiya Marakishiya
(Maroccan Royal Air Force) uses a square variant of the
national flag with the star is outlined in gold as fin
flash. The source is Wheeler’ book
[whe86]. In the photo
the gold outline can’t be seen so it is questionable.

Wheeler [whe86] shows
square form of national flag (solomon seal in gold again) as fin flash;
Cochrane and Elliott [cos98] show a
a national flag as fin flash. Both are correct:
Fin flash can be sqare , can be recatangle and can be swift back on part
of the rudder as all those photos show.

Pre-1990’s roundel is similar to the current one
— without green border, and with a more complex crown similarly as in
the contemporary naval ensign, also with
green parts within the arches. The national flag
was painted on the fin back then.
