In the latest National Geographic there is an article on Irian Jaya that includes a picture of the a billboard in the capital, Jayapura.

On the top of this billboard there are several flags. The national flag alternating with a white flag with a red stripe on the hoist, 2 red stripes just inside the top and bottom edges and a device in the center that looks to me like a nut with a leaf growing out of it.
Is this the flag of Irian Jaya? Could it be the flag of Jayapura?

Don't know anything about the status of the flag you GIFed (weird looking thing) but the attached GIF is of the flag of the main West Papuan separatist movement opposed to Indonesia rule and so may (in some quarters at least) have claim to be the flag of Irian Jaya.
