Royal Catalan Guards flags (2)

As told in my last post here, there was an important misinterpretation on a key paragraph of F. Castellví's Memoirs -that one concerning the detailed description of Royal Catalan Guards flags in 1705-1713.

The precise Castellví's Memories paragraph transcription is as follows: El segundo [regimiento] fue el que mandó formar el emperador ocupada Barcelona en noviembre de 1705 para su guardia y le nombró "Regimiento de Reales Guardias Catalanas". Tenía en sus banderas las armas reales de España y al centro del escudo las de Austria y lema que decía: "Donec Perficiam" con la imagen de la Puríssima Concepción a la otra parte.

This can be translated into English as The second [Regiment] was created under Emperor orders after the occupation of Barcelona in November 1705, and was named "Royal Catalan Guards". Their flags showed the Royal Coat of Arms of Spain [on one side] with the arms of Austria at its center (?), along with the motto "Donec Perficiam" ("Until Prevailing"?). At the other side, it showed an image of Virgin Mary [see images below].

Again, F. Castellví only describes the flags' main figures, without any mention to their background colour, eventual Burgundian crosses, double-headed eagles or flaming borders, although none of them can be plainly discarded -for some might likely have been a default device -so that the author considered unnecessary to emphasize such details, for these were the usual ones. There is no reference to eventual differences between Colonel and Battalion flags either, so that we are tempted to suppose them to have been identical. In the end, this re-interpreted text allows a quite familiar design to arise, radically different from the first one we had drawn some days ago:

I must admit to have experienced a relief after this revealing, for my first recreation of this Regiment's flags had resulted in a design that was highly contradictory with the hypothesis formulated in our Catalonia Stands Alone booklet. Moreover, beyond confirming them, this new re-interpretation strongly suggests that Royal Catalan Guards flags design was likely in the basis of the standard Infantry Colonel Flag defined in the 1706 Ordnances of Charles' III Habsburg.
