The meaning of "haevily used" is vauge and it is impossible to verify it until a comprehensive study of the use of the rising sun flags is done, which I have never seen so far. As far as the Japanese army is concerned, one flag was given to a regiment (about 1700 persons) by the emperor and it is unlikely that the use of replicas was permitted. If a soldier wanted to use a flag, he certainly used a Hinomaru flag. There are a lot of such photos. If "heavily used" refers to some ceremonies or celebrations overseas, I have never seen a photo with the rising sun flags flying. Ia Japan, I found the rising sun flags were used in the photos of the celebrations of the victory of the Russo-Japanese War and of the fall of Singapore in the Pasific War. But in both cases Hinomaru flags were dominant. And did Asians other than Japanese have the occasion to see such photos before the end of the war? I think it is after the end of World War II that the rising sun flag came to be seen as a symbol of Japanese imperialism, especially Koreas and Chinese.
