What about these ensigns in 1960-1964, when the middle stripe of the national flag was white? I'm sure these ensigns (if they existed previously) were relegislated — but were they really used? Are all of them in use today, anyway?

Red with national flag bordered black in canton. Ratio 2:3.

Smith [smi75b] and Album des Pavillons (correction #26, September 1996) show a thick black fimbriation. Pederson [ped70] describes (without image) a civil ensign of the same pattern, but with proportion 5:8.

Red St. George’s cross on white with national flag in canton. Ratio 2:3.
Zeljko Heimer, 04 Jul 1996

Acording to [smi75], the cross width is 1/9th of the hoist. But are the proportions really 2:3? This is the same question as whether the british white ensign is 1:2 or 9:17 -- here would be 9:13...
