 Austro-Hungarian Empire - Yacht Club Flags
In addition to the naval ensign (erroneously translated "merchant flag") there are nine rank flags, one for the commodore (highest rank in YC), and two sets of four for lower ranks and members' flag, each for either Austria or Hungary.
The difference is in the crown and the coat-of-arms used - for Austria the Austrian imperial crown and the fl double eagle, and for Hungary the St. Stephen's crown and the Hungarian coat-of-arms.
It is my guess that the two sets have been in use regarding the ports of registrations of the vessels, those in Istria, Dalmatia and Austrian held parts of Italy were using Austrian version, while the vessels from Rijeka/Fiume and northern Croatian coast used Hungarian version.

If your grandmother or grandfather were born in Austro Hungary in 1990 to the citizens of Austro Hungary they were Austro Hungarian citizens.
If your father was born in 1937 he could not be considered as Austro Hungarian citizen because Austro Hungary did not exist at that time.
Also it is unlikely that he was considered citizen of Poland, which was legal successor of Austro Hungary with respect to Galicia, but it is possible because if your grandfather immigrated in 1927, he already became citizen of Poland (starting from 1919-1920).
