 flag of Cape Verde: flag of 1975-1992 flags   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Prior to 1992, the similarity between the two nations’ flags was explained by the fact that both were derived from the flag of the Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde (P.A.I.G.C.), the liberation movement which succeeded in gaining independence for both countries (Guinea-Bissau in 1974, Cape Verde in 1975).
This flag is very similar to Guinea-Bissau's, but 2:3 (instead of 1:2) and with a maize wreath and a scallop shell around the fl star.
This device is not centered, but positioned in such a manner that the lower points of the star lye on the same line as the yellow-green boundary.

This party arose from the common P.A.I.G.C. party from Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, that had a yellow over green flag with a red stripe at hoist, and from which where derived both the current flag of Guinea-Bissau and the previous flag of Cape Verde.
I don't know how old is this flag (I didn't know it before), but I suspect it dates from the time when the P.A.I.C.V. abandoned marxism-leninism and became a western-type socialist party.
The P.A.I.C.V., by the way, was formed when the confederation between Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde got split, leading to the split of the common P.A.I.G.C. party.

The decisions aren't interesting for us (except that the party continues and keeps the same symbols), but the flag is. This flag I'm sending along was hanging from the table of the convention presidency (a common practice in Portugal also), so I suppose that it as official as one can get.
The reason for this is that Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde constituted a short-lived confederacy after independence under the leadership of the PAIGC, a party that had cape-verdian and guinean membership and was winning the war against the portuguese colonial forces in Guinea-Bissau by the time of the portuguese revolution.
The union broke apart because there were conflicts between the cape-verdians (with a much more european culture - Cape Verde is basically a mixed country, racially, culturally, linguistically, etc.) and the guineans (who in the vast majority didn't speak portuguese) inside the party, that immediately were reflected at state level.
