Cross Objective Flag Roundel MoD

In looking at contemporary examples, the roundel is typically a thin cross.
The French ‘Free French’ Wikipedia page has the roundel just like the design I’ve used:



The above is a screen print from the French Wikipedia page. You can see that the Free French Navy use a thick cross, but tanks and aircraft were supposed to have the narrow cross.

But please show me if you have any good sources on the roundel.

I feel wikipedia comes from this photo where the cross has been badly drawn under the wing. You may be right, but I think wikipedia took for the right roundel a bad example. Yes I have to search for sources (but you already had seen the one on the fuselage, which is good).
Here is the author of the roundel:

EDIT: not skinny one, on fuselage:

Eriss,

Giving me a link to a picture of a shield is not helpful, because it's not a roundel.

WWII pictures of roundels really only establishes what we already know:
Free French aircraft used at least five different styles of cross, including the main three I posted in a screen print in post #6.

What I would be interested in, is which was the official roundel, if such a thing existed.

At the moment, the only reference to an official aircraft roundel I have, looks like the one in the image below:



I won't change the mod unless I get a decent source showing another roundel was the 'correct' one.

However, post an image of what you'd like it to look like, and perhaps I'll be able to make a personalised roundel for you.

I'm okay with this one!!
which is different from what you have drawn: you see on the photo that the horizontal bar is smaller than the vertical one, and that the cross (its bars) is a very little less thin (not very, but it makes the difference).
Thank for your research and work (but I can't give you reput' again for now).

The cross bar goes all the way across the roundel on these:








At least I didn't copy this one:



Definitely not beautiful
