Australia 2012 Road Trip - Dive Flag

On examining the cover of the stamp booklet of the Australia 2012 Road Trip issue, I realized that one of the stickers crowding the back of the vehicle is a dive flag - on the right side of the rear window. I managed to locate it on the stamp too, but it was not easy to see it properly, as the rectangular flag is slightly distorted.
