I would let the flag just as it is right now: the famous, cool and universally known CSA flag.
Maybe it’s not the historically accurate one but it’s the one everybody associates with the south in the civil war.
The real ones, posted above are really difficult to differentiate from the Union ones.

Casse in point -- I am sure not many people were annoyed (as I was) to see General Patton observing German troops in Tunisia moving toward him in Patton (M-48) tanks. Who besides me really cared? Nobody, is my guess! The movie was still good.
