Diagonals may offer a better* analysis, e.g.:

(c)*

Wales	(+C)	Scotland
(+K)	X	(+M)
Ireland	(+Mk)	England

– but, on the other hand, national symbols from the Royal Standard and other flags fit more happily like this:

(d)

{xS}				{xA}
(Harp)	Ireland	(+C)	England	(3 Leopards)
	(+K)	X	(+M)
(Dragon)	Wales	(+Mk)	Scotland	(Lion)
{xP}				{xL}

or even this:

(e)

(3 Leopards)	England		Ireland	(Harp)
	(+K)	X	(+M)
(Dragon)	Wales		Scotland	(Lion)

The whole thing is fraught with difficulties! On the whole I think (d) makes more sense than the others.
