Taiwan Naval Academy possible guidon indeed never exsists.
There was a very similar flag, the flag of the Honor Guard
of the Friendship Promoting Fleet. (see:

in Chinese)
We can see very clearly that the school's name was not above the
school's emblem on the flag, and there is a white square on the hoist
and some Chinese text written there.
I'm trying to verify the Chinese text, and after verifying, the correct
image will be upload. So, please hold this incorrect GIF.

It is translated as 'Cadet Brigade' or 'Brigade of Midshipmen' on
http://www.cna.edu.tw/~na/english_web/cnadaily/Cadet%20Brigade.htm; I use
the latter translation to conform with the US Naval Academy
practice.
Miles Li, 02 July 2014
With help from a veteran naval commander, the Chinese text written on the
flag was verified, and the "possible guidon" was identified, too. This flag was
for the "Brigade of Midshipmen", used in 1980s, of Taiwanese Naval Academy. The
Chinese text means "Brigade of Midshipmen at Naval Academy". Besides, because
the most main members of the Friendship Promoting Fleet are the seniors of the
academy, the flag was flown on the performance of the Fleet's honor guard. By
the way, the flag had no gold fringes as what we see on the photos.

The unit names are written in black letters on the white strips.

The name of the unit is written in white letters directly on the red field
near the hoist, and the badge of the unit is on the small white flag.

The Army First Non-Commissioned Officers School (1957-1986),
also known as Army Non-Commissioned Officers School (1986-2000)
and as the National Army Senior High School (since Oct 2000)
uses a flag identical to that of the Military Academy except
for the unit name at hoist.
This flag has yellow fringe, white metal spearhead finial,
and red tassels.
Miles Li, 18 March 2004
This school was established as "the First Non-Commissioned Officers School"
in 1957 by Chiang Kai-shek. In 1986, it was integrated itself with the Second
and Third Non-Commissioned Officers Schools and renamed as "Army
Non-Commissioned Officers School." Then, it was tranformed to "National Army
Senior High School" in 2000. In August 2005, the school was officially reformed
as the Army Academy ROC (Taiwan).

(Taiwan). The badge is that of the Ministry of National
Defence.

The Political Warfare Cadres Academy has a flag
that is pale yellow. However
this picture shows
it is more orange than yellow (also seen
here)
