And yet the design is based on the National Flag of Scotland, a St Andrews Cross.

So regardless of proper heraldry designations, it would be called colloquially a cross flag, ie the Southern Cross.

I'm not even sure why everyone is getting bogged down with the name or when it was first used.

 

actually it is not based on the national flag of Scotland. A politician at the time thought it was so, the designer of the flag said it was not so

is all in the contemporary account that Selene linked to

as an textual originalist yourself then I would have supposed that you would disregard the untruthful utterances of a politician and go with the original text as communicated by the person who actually designed it

He who? Innula? 

If that is who you mean, you're wrong. She is very fact oriented. It's one of the aspects of the line of work she is in.
