I just found this on Ethiopia which matches earlier post here. Said it was early roundel.

thanks. So it could be that they used that roundel for a short term (1933) before the Italians ran over them. I wonder about the colors?

Here's a real head scratcher; this flag can be seen from a distance for all of a few seconds from a handful of shots in one scene in the 2015 movie No Escape. I had to pause the movie for almost an hour to scrounge around trying to find information on it, but it seems it was designed for the sole purpose of a few angles in this scene. Would've been easier to have just not included a fictional flag, frankly.

Looks like some sort of hybrid between the Bhutanese dragon and Sri Lankan lion? You can see the design mirrored in black behind the door.

 

The helicopter is a MBB/Kawasaki BK 117 with the registration HS-SFB, the registration belonging to a helicopter of Si Chang Flying Service (SFS) out of Thailand, where the movie was filmed in. I've included it in it's Thai colors. airport-data.com lists the helicopter as having been sold to New Zealand shortly after filming of the movie.

No problem! Please do share here if you find anything, as I lack a Facebook account.
