I know this is late. There never was a UNITED STATES marking and flag on a Boost Protective Cover (BPC) as used for the last three Little Joe-II flights (A-002, A-003, and A-004). The capsules had them, under the BPC's.
A-001 was unique in that it had no BPC, so it did have the UNITED STATES and flag visible on the capsule for launch.
The Estes drawing unfortunately is a legacy from errors of the late 1960's to early 70's, including the wonderful original Centuri 1/45 Little Joe-II kit and its drawings/decals.
