Mystery: This star-in-a-circle flag does not resemble Nepal's national flag, so what does it in fact represent?

Changed slightly from 1968 but my best guess is it is the Flag of the revolutionary Youth Movement, still strong today.

I searched scores of internal Nepalese flags without luck until I saw the 'Youth Movement' mentioned in a description of the stamp issue.

Here's a nice British Poster Stamp with Union Flag [Jack] conveniently placed !
I believe the King is GVI.

This looks like to be a slightly different version of the Civil Flag of Venice that could have changed over time from similar historical Flags of centuries past.
It shows the winged Lion of St.Mark and a Book.

WWI Poster stamp. The confusing bit here is the Winged Lion is facing the 6 tails but in all the Flags I have seen he is definitely facing away from them ! Bit more researching necessary ?
