Two of the best sources about Russian flags are "geraldika.ru" and "Vexillographia (Russian Centre of Vexillology and Heraldry)"

It is strange that, even informing in the text about the adoption of the city flag: "... In the upper white stripe there is an image of a blue mountain with three peaks, whose middle peak is higher and. .. ", they present a different image of the flag (without mountains and different stripes).

In "Vexillographia", see [Алтайский край] and go to [город Белокуриха], the image is the same.
What is your opinion: A mistake? A variant? An earlier project?

I think that this version is a suggestion by the Heraldic Council, but photos show the version with peaks, although in much lighter colours.

This was a mistake in the official text. The first project for a flag did have the image of a blue mountain. Later, the image was modified but text in the document was not corrected.

I checked again and can say that the flag with mountain is in use. You can see it on a video from 2018 Olympiad of the Cities, the second video, at the end >4:35 https://www.amic.ru/news/407070/

Very interesting! When they sent their flag to the Heraldic Council, they used a variant without a mountain (and the image in the official Decision sent to Council was without a mountain). May be Heraldic Council forced them to add the mountain (?)
