"On 19 Jan 1903 Mr. B.E.Roys proposed a houseflag: "A white lozenge
with the letters J.C.J.L with halfrectangle of red towards the hoist and
blue". This design was adopted, but changed after a few months, to relate
it to the Dutch flag: top half rectangles of red and bottom blue. However
the Dutch flag had nothing to do with the original design: the founding
companies KPM (with white diamond in red) and KNSM (white diamond in blue)
had their colors on the JCJL flag. The royal crown in both flags was replaced
by the intials of the new company.
The houseflag with the initials was used 1902-1947.
In 1970 the JCPL became Royal as KJCPL and became a working firm for
the "Nederlandsche Scheepvaart-Unie" (NSU) (1947-1977) (since 1970 with
a wimpel quartered lightblue and white, over all a red St. George's Cross),
during which time it used the flag with the crown."
In 1947 the Java-China-Japan Lijn (based in Amsterdam) merged with
the KPM-Buitenlijnen (KPM Outward Lines) to form the Koninklijke Java-China-Paketvaartlijnen
N.V. (Royal Interocean Lines) and adopted the flag with the crown.

The initials "JCJL" stand for 'N.V. Java-China-Japan Lijn', active 1901-1947
according to this Kombuispraat
page, about half way down:
This is the 1947 "JCPL" variant found on that page: Martin Heere's
work.

The Java-Pacific Lijn (1915-1923) had a red over blue bicolor with over
all a white diamond charged with intertwined (?) black letters "JPL".
