Kind of like the Cowpens flag with less stripes

Yes that is probably the most similar of all (real) US variant flags. Compared to Cowpens: less stripes, upright stars, one more star in the circle (14 vs 13 total), and the center star being larger than the rest.

Though perhaps the most similar other flag is the one used by Ulysses in Lonesome Road.
