Earlier Rhodesia's banner was British influenced, compared to the later greenish one we see during the Rhodesian Bush War, which is possibly the most known Rhodesian flag. Canada was another nation with a similar banner, but in red.

Rhodesia also had their own very well known special force regiment which takes name after the Special Air Service (S.A.S.) of the U.K., the Rhodesian S.A.S., only Australia and New Zealand after the United Kingdom have their own unit influenced by the original today.

I think the flag changed when Rhodesia declared independence from Britain after the decolonization in other African countries started and they didnt want to go the way the former Federation countries Malawi and Zambia had gone
