I looked through my pre-computer era notes to see if I had anything about this "army flag". What I found was this Malawi ufe (unidentified flag or ensign) illustrated above. My notes say that long strips of these flags were visible in TV images of during the time of the then President Banda. Could it be the flag of his party?
The flag of Banda's party (the Malawi Congress
Party) looks quite different, and is the basis for the present flag of
Malawi. Your UFE is not the army flag.
Crampton's Complete Guide of Flags (1989) [cra89a] has a description
of a military flag of Malawi which is "Red with a yellow climbing lion above the sun and wavy bars like in
the crest".
It is also not the presidential flag ...
so it remains a mystery!

I used to live in Malawi, and I do remember this
flag. It was usually
printed on hard board and hung on to poles, but I never saw it as a flag as
on a cloth! I saw this flag when ever there was a important conference or when
former President
Banda came driving past. I only ever saw it when President
Banda was in power and not after the election of President Muluzi!
