Just been walking around Portsmouth Dockyard, and noticed this from the Unité. (not sure if this became the Surprise as Wiki says there was two ships of that name, but the dates of capture are just almost the same). I wonder if they kept them on when they renamed the ships and fly under the RN Colours?
