There is also a version for warships with the honorary title of 'Guard': in this case the 'rising sun' emblem is moved towards the hoist, with the Guards badge placed near the fly.

In all likelihood, there are rank flags of this ensign.

A naval ensign with the 'rising sun' emblem and a yellow map of North Korea, which is topped with a red star.

That 'yellow map' is actually the Guards badge (which does not show its details very well on that photo). If you look very carefully you can see a tricolour flag on the top of that emblem, which along with the red star and yellow background resembles the DPRK Guards badge. See this for an image of the bagde. This is why I insist the flag is the Guards ensign.

the North Korean naval ensign for warships with the honorary title of 'Guard'. Similar to the normal naval ensign, but with the 'rising sun' emblem moved towards the hoist, and with the Guards badge placed near the fly. On actual badges there are hangul writings at the bottom of the wreath, apparently denoting the hierarchy of the wearers.
