In 1963 yellow fringes were added to the Marine Corps Unit flag; Marine Corps Companies lost their distinctive flag design, and adopted the Marine Corps Unit flag instead. The unit names are written in red letters on the white scrolls.

After the Marine Corps Company flag was discontinued in 1963 Marine Corps companies used the Marine Corps Unit flag.

Marine Corps Unit flag (and presumably the Marine Corps Company flag), adopted in 1960, always had fringes. See http://catalog.digitalarchives.tw/item/00/3a/19/44.html (the video quality is less than perfect, but still interesting)

Thanks Mr. Li gave us such a precious historical video on the Double Tenth's Military Parade in 1961.
According to the official archives, the Taiwanese military authorities didn't require the flags of units of all services to be decorated with fringes until 1961. With Chiang Kai-shek's approval, the authorities ordered all services to add fringes on the flags of units in early 1962.
