People's Liberation Army of South Vietnam was the official name of armed
forces of the Communist-organized Republic of South Vietnam. Its flag was
derived from the state flag by adding the
words "Quyết thắng" ("Determined to win") in the top
hoist, as used in the flag of Vietnam People's Army. A reconstruction of
this flag, using a modern typeface, can be sedn here:

While numerous
photos of hand-made Viet Cong flag bearing this inscription, which occupies
different positions along the top edge, can be found by any image searching
of the Web, a black and white photo of the flag with correctly positioned
text, in a rather peculiar typeface, can be found here
https://www.flickr.com/photos/13476480@N07/3771046133. Since the photo
was taken at an official event, it proves that the displayed layout of
charges was official.
