Possible 2:3 ratio

This might be not really a mistaken depiction, as I read somewhere in the 1st constitution of Guinea Bissau (or maybe in the Statutes of P.A.I.G.C.) that the three areas of the flag are to have the same area, saying nothing about the final ratio of the flag.

In 1978, the East German Post issued a 20 Pf. stamp marking the 5th death anniversary of Amílcar Cabral (1924-1973), showing e.g. a 2:3 depiction of the flag, flat on the background.

With “sharp” star

In the book História da Guiné e Ilhas de Cabo Verde, by PAIGC, 1974, the image on the cover is a vertical Guinean-Bissau flag, with a “leaner” star. The book does have only one image on the cover page, which is like the national flag in vertical position (top to the right), with the difference that it has an irregular star, pointed to the top (of the image/book).
