Alliance flags: correctness?

[gridlockjoe]

I have a question for those Browncoats who are more into the fandom than I am (looking specifically at artcat81):

This flag was on the Dortmunder in the episode "Serenity":



And this flag was seen on the cargo crates in "The Train Job":



Which would you say is more correctly referred to as the Alliance flag? I don't remember where in the pilot the first flag was shown.
And for the second flag, would you display it this side up, or the other way around?

As far as the Browncoat flag, refresh my memory: it was decided that the star was blue and it should point downward, yes?
