The box art cannot be considered as evidence. Sometimes what actually came in
a set is different than the box art or instructions.

The Flag 4 x 1 Wave Right
 
Part No: 4495b  Name: Flag 4 x 1 Wave Right
* 
4495b Flag 4 x 1 Wave Right

were first introduced in 2008, as far as we know
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=4495b&in=S

but this set was released in 1984.
In one of the photo I uploaded few months ago, you can see

Reza beat me to it!

Like Reza said, the box art cannot be considered evidence without some additional
knowledge behind it. The flags with right-handed waves were not introduced until
the late 2000s. Therefore, the ones in the images on the box must be prototype
parts since the flag was released the same year this set was released: 1984.
So even though the images show the flags with right-handed waves, only flags
with left-handed waves were produced and included in sets for well over 20 years
after introduction.

These requests will not be accepted.

Cheers,
Randy
