Two labels looks similar - NUR Acre Palestine old Lion label and a El Bark Damour Lion label of Lebanon (Liban)

Somebody told me that NUR exported matchbxes

 to Lebanon on the 1930's, but I don't have a ratification for it.

The Nur label looks almost the same as the Lebanese one.

The "Five-Colored Flag" of the Republic of China on a Japanese label dated 1912-1928

The "Five-Colored Flag" was used as a national flag of the Republic of China from the inception of the Republic in 1912 until the demise of the warlord government in 1928.

The "Five-Colored Flag" Used mainly in Shanghai and eastern parts of northern China until 1928. This flag was widely flown even before the founding of the Republic of China by Chinese on the eastern coast and garnered the greatest respect at the founding of the ROC. Stripes represent the five great races in China's history, according to Dr. Sun Yat-sen: red for Han Chinese, yellow to represent Manchus, blue as Mongols, white for both Huis and Uyghurs, and black for Tibetans.

Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth

The "Blue Sky with a White Sun flag" was designed by Lu Hao-tung in 1895 and is used to this day as the naval jack of the Republic as well as the flag of the Kuomintang (KMT).

The Naval Jack of the Republic of China since 1928 (canton of the Flag of the Republic of China), now used on Taiwan.

Peach labels

The story of Momotarō, although largely unfamiliar in the West, is a well known and loved Japanese folk-tale. Momotarō (often directly translated as ‘Peach Boy’) was the miracle child of an elderly couple who had not been favoured with the good fortune of having their own children. Whilst washing clothes in the river one day, the old woman heard muffled cries coming from inside a giant peach which she had found floating downstream. She had pulled the peach out  of the water with the idea of sharing it with her husband for lunch. On breaking open the peach, she found Momotarō in the middle and claimed him as her own son. The old couple was very happy finally to have a child of their own and lavished upon the boy love, attention, and a good education.
