Yes, OR.25, Part One, Page 478.

Colonel Louis R. Francine's after battle report.

"The same morning (Sunday), at about 5 o'clock, my regiment was again detached
from the brigade, and, under orders from Major Tremain, of General Sickles;
staff, filled up a gap occurring between Birney's right and our immediate
front. After a short time, my regiment advanced into the woods in front of the
breastworks, and, by maintaining a flanking position under a very heavy fire
for over three hours , captured five stand of colors and over 300 prisoners,
among the latter  1 colonel, 1 major, and several line officers. The colors
were taken from the Twenty-first Virginia, Eighteenth North Carolina, First
Louisiana, Second North Carolina, and the fifth from some Alabama regiment. The
Second North Carolina Regiment we captured almost in two."

The 4th North Carolina's battle flag was captured by the 7th Ohio Infantry Regiment. (War Department).

This leads me to now believe, that the 5th New Jersey may have captured either both flags 22nd Va Bttn/55th and/or one of the flags.

Does anyone know what this C.S.A flag is (Captured by the 7th New Jersey, at Chancellorsville.) Maybe the 55th Va flag? 22nd Va Battn's flag?
