Tom,

Linbberg cast the name plate sprue and display stand for that kit as a
"generic". It was included in two kits, the Jolly Roger and one of the
Flying Dutchman. You will find this in a good many Lindberg kits which have
similar bottom configuration, even though they are completely different in
other respects.
