Variant design

A variant of the basic design was used as the car flag on at least one occasion, in London, UK on 1966-06-25. The flag shape was less oblong and the central device larger, with rounded corners of the black square and the bunny head facing the hoist. The photos are available here:

While both of those are black and white, the field color was most likely orange, as used in other contemporary flags.
