"Sandy Hook's 1930 W.I.M. flag is small, but there are no dots after
the letters. Furthermore, the crown is yellow in this version but
that may be a mistake... or has it anything to do with the line becoming
'Royal'?

Griffin 1895, Lloyds 1904 and 1912 and Liverpool Journal of Commerce
1909 sheet all show red charges but Brown 1926 changes the crown to yellow.
The name renamed the same throughout. Of these only Lloyds 1904 shows dots
after the letters.
