I made some examples of the epaulette SRIs I had ideas for, along with which rank is which Admittedly they're not the best photo-shops, though. If you like them, I'll see if I can refine them so they look better. I'll probably also replace the caltrops/crow's feet (the crooked stars) with standard stars for GAN use.

 Notes 

All astrisked ranks are posts.

* A Flag Captain is a Captain who is either the C.O of a Flagship (hence the name) or on detached duty from the rest of the squadron/fleet. Flag Captains would be really rare, only a few in each fleet/squadron

** Lieutenants Commander gets split into Lieutenant Command/Captain-Lieutenant and Flag Lieutenant. In the case of Lt. Commander, they're a Lieutenant who is the Captain of a corvette (hence the name "Captain"-Lieutenant)

*** A Flag Lieutenant is a Lieutenant who is the X.O of a ship (generally a frigate, Commanders would be the X.O of a Battleship)

**** A Flag Ensign is an Ensign who is the X.O of a corvette
