1st Mississippi Artillery Co.A? *PIC*

Hi all,
I was researching a few flags today at the Mississippi archives when the curator showed me a flag of the 1st MIssissippi Artillery, Co A. The 1st fought around Vickburg and was captured there then paroled and fought in Loring's Division afterwards. However, the flag she showed me is most definitely a late issue ANV bunting. I initially thought it was a misidentification but to add to the confusion, it has battles honors " Chickasaw bayou, bakers creek, Vicksburg, Barritt's Farm". So the question is: how does an artillery unit in Mississippi receive a late issue bunting ANV flag?"
