I've seen those flags before, in a book called "Banderas
oficiales y revolucionarias de Cuba" by Emilio Roig de
Leuchsenring edited back in 1950, in Havana by the Municipio
de la Habana.

Flag used by the conspiracy of the "Suns and Rays of
Bolivar". Not led by the South American liberator, but
inspired and supported by him, 1823. This image is based on http://www.autentico.org/index01.html
and the book "Banderas Oficiales y Revolucionarias de
Cuba", written by Emilio Roig de Leuschering, and published
in Havana, by the Municipio de la Habana publishing house, in
1950.

Pablo Acosta Ríos sent to Venezimbol the following
flag: It was the first flag of Cuban independence, a Freemason
society called "Suns and Rays of Bolívar", in 1823.
The Flag of Suns and Rays of Bolívar was the flag of a
conspiracy, led by the Liberator (the foreign policy of the
Republic was behind another thing in 1823, already being the
Republic of Colombia, with greater goals; the Antillean foreign
policy of Bolívar was active one decade previous). The
conspiracy, nevertheless, had the support and the inspiration of
Bolívar. It comes out very well described in the book
"Official and Revolutionary Flags Cuba" written by
Emilio Roig de Leuschering, and published by editions of the
Municipality of Havana, in 1950. This book is in the Central
Library of the UCV. A Venezuelan member of Venezimbol have the
impression (perhaps wrong, as he says) of having seen it like the
command flag, or personal standard, used by Bolívar during the
independence war.

'Das Grossen Flaggenbuch' describes the 'flag of the 4th September 1933'. It is a 2:1 flag made of five equal vertical bands: blue, white, red, yellow and green. It was hoisted along with the National flag by the Army, the Navy and the Police. The 4th September 1933 is the end of the dictatorship of Machado.
Some questions about that:
1. Is this flag still in used ? Comparing 'Das Grossen Flaggenbuch' with 'Album des Pavillons', I noticed that several Cuban flags were not changed by Castro (including the national flag. The presidential flag just received two additional stars.)
2. What is the origin of the 4th September flag ? I suppose it
was inspired by the French tricolour, but the two additional
colours are not 'Cuban'.
Ivan Sache, 3 July 1997
From: http://www.cubaweb.cu/museos/m34.html:
Museum of the City of Havana - The "Hall of Flags"
contains the original Cuban flag and the one flown by Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes when he began the first war for independence
in 1868, as well as a number of flags used by the Spanish
colonial government in Cuba.
