The blue and yellow quartered pennant appears to have been adopted by the
Hague 1882 Convention. I wanted to see how it was defined there, and finally I
found the text of the convention at
http://iea.uoregon.edu/pages/view_treaty.php?t=1882-PoliceNorthSeasFishery.EN.txt&par=view_treaty_html
(it is actually called: "Convention Between Her Majesty, The German Emperor,
King Of Prussia, The King Of The Belgians, The King Of Denmark, The President Of
The French Republic, And The King Of The Netherlands, For Regulating The Police
Of The North Sea Fisheries" or "Convention for Regulating the Police of the
North Sea Fisheries" for short, other short names being in use are "North Sea
Fishery Convention" and "Overfishing Convention"). However, I found no mention
in the Convention regarding any special pennants whatsoever.
The same web site includes subsequent conventions that might provide more
insight, but in those that I checked I found no mention of any flags, signals,
or pennants):

The North Sea Fisheries pennant was added to the 1889 Admiralty Flag Book by
amendment in October 1902. It could of course have been in use before this, but
not been included in the Flag Book until 1902.

While the NW pennant is shown in 1995 edition of Pavillons nationaux et marques distinctives,
the NE is not. Does this mean that the NE pennant is a new thing?
