The two middle rows of stars are flip-flopped. I have now found 11 versions of basically the same chart. Between all of them, the verdict was split 6 to 6 as to which one of these should be depicted.

Based on an e-bay posting:
Description: ... guaranteed original printed not sewn 10.5" x 7" United States flag featuring only 29 stars dating this to 1846-1848. ... The condition as shown is quite good. The first image shows it from the reverse which has a bit of staining but the front is much cleaner as can be seen. ... Vexillologists- those engaged in the scholarly study of flags should really appreciate the rare design---and I believe unofficial U.S. design; ... At this size, may have been a parade flag or used at political rallies or campaigns but you be the judge. ...

At that time a lot of US flags had an "unofficial U.S. design". And I judge political gathering more likely than parade.
