Flags seen in a military parade

TThe photo in the linked article shows two unfamiliar flags in the foreground as well as a third one indistinctly shown on the tanks in the distance. The foreground flags are unfamiliar to me and not on the FOTW Myanmar army page. These flags were clearly in official military use as of March 2013.

The blue flag may easily be an (or the) air force flag, in which case the defaced tricolour may be the army flag or some such... In any case, and in the view of this flag, it seems that the new national flag has more meaning in the shapes then colours, so such colour variations may make sense retaining the national symbolism. Such practice would be distinct to the "western" concept of what constitutes a (national) flag and may be a beginning of new development. But, maybe I am jumping too much ahead from a single unexplained photo.

But, cf. the photo with other variations of the same theme...

About the three horizontal stripes flag with star, this is know: it is the Tanmataw (i.e. Armed Forces) flag. The other, I have a photo where this flag is hoisted at side of and historical flag but its use is unknown to me.

Flag on river boat

The flag in the photo seems to be green, yellow, blue, diagonal. Perhaps there is a mistake in hoisting it. The emblem is a disk with three colours in the diagonal and a black anchor.
