There seems to be no evidence to support the theory that there
was a defaced red ensign.

The badge (from Admiralty
flag book) used on the Union Jack and Blue Ensign before 1910.
The badge was based on a sketch, made in 1869, of the 1817 seal,
which depicted a wet dock of the time. It may have been
introduced in 1869, or possibly not until 1875, when the badge
was approved by the Admiralty.

Bermuda used circular seal in 1869 flag. In 1910 it was
changed to use of the arms.

As reported, the Bermudan red ensign was locally used with a
white disc in the 1960-1970ies.

Bermuda red ensign with the shield on a disk based on a photo
of the same flag that was recently up for auction on e-bay. In
the photo, I can see what appears to be an Annin label in the
heading. The shield in the photo is trimmed in yellow gold which
is itself held in a thin red holding line. This image is
accurately mimics a couple of other Bermuda red ensigns with
disks that I have personally seen, which had black holding lines
around the shield down to the grassy area. They were fairly old,
and apparently British made as per their proportions and
headings.
