They were in the Cameron colors of yellow and red but bore simply five alternating vertical stripes (3 yellow, 2 red) with no symbols or other graphic elements.

At the time I thought it was simple decoration or window-dressing for the day but I see now that it must have been the Chief's livery being shown by the clansfolk.

Live and learn. Thanks!
Are you sure they were vertical stripes? Lochiel's coat of arms bears a shield of four red bars and three gold bars, horizontally. It certainly wouldn't be odd if his livery colours were used as decoration, but any sort of banner of red and gold vertical stripes might be confusing.
