I believe it came from the 2000 catalog.  As far as I can tell, there are only
two pictures of this set by itself.  The one in the 2000 catalog and the Lego
website, and the box cover and S@H.  The former shows 5 flags, the latter shows
4.

My guess is that the five flag version is a pre-production shot.
