This is the official pattern: I don't know if de facto is used with darker blue shade. The letters in the below part are different in each destination. Ratio 13:20.

Argentine Jack: the width of the border is 1/5 of the total length (not height). Dimensions are 1 and 1.14, according to the (argentine) Institute of Naval Studies.
Gustavo Tracchia, 15 Feb 2000

The argentine jack is a white square panel with a light blue border. Centered upon the white panel is the Sun of May with 32 straight and wavy rays alternating, in gold.
Paige Herring and Jarig Bakker, 11 Jan 1999

Pedersen [ped71] lists the Argentine jack as 50:57, not quite square.
Michael Smuda, 11 Jan 1999

The use of this flag as the flag of admirals not in command is mentioned in Album 2000 (as well as in 1995 issue).

War Pennant

Blue-white-blue triangular pennant. The tri-coloured stripes are decreasing in width as reaching the fly end (so that in any vertical cut the relative width of the three stripes is equal). The pennant ratio as drawn in Album 2000 is 1:15 (but it is not written). This pennnat is surely in use for quite a while and probably mentioned already in [geo17] at least.

Pilot flag

Apparently, it seems that the flag is abandoned altogether, as there is no mention of such in Album 2000 [pay00].

Apparently at some later point the previous flags colours were reversed. The Album recapitulative issue of 1995 [pie95] shows the flag as light blue with white letter P (sans-serif).
