Here's an interesting thing. The flag carriers that are being worn by the flag bearers are being worn on different shoulders. The old colours over the left shoulder and the new colours over the right.

All the flag carriers that I have seen (and the one I own) were designed to be worn over the right shoulder. That way they would not interfere with any medals being worn.

Does anyone have any insight on this?
