Expert Insight on Early 6th Miss Flags

Hi all,
I am currently looking into the possible flags of the 6th Mississippi, especially early in the war. The sixth was under Hardee in Cleburne's division at Shiloh, so an educated guess would have them with early war Hardee flags but afterwards it gets murky for me. After heavy losses at Shiloh, they were assigned to Bowen's brigade in Breckenridge's Division in the Army of Mississippi then in Bowen's brigade under Van Dorn in Lovell's Division in time for the battle of Corinth. What would have been possible flags during this time? If i recall, once Pemberton took over, he ordered first nationals for his army and the sixth would have most likely would have received one. I think once Polk took over they would have received a Mobile Depot Style that would have been carried in the latter parts of the war (III Corps/AP Stewart). I turn this over to the experts for their opinions.
