Considering the Paralympics changed their logo in 2004, from three tae-geuk-s, 
and a decade before that, in 1994, fro the original five tae-geuk-s, there may 
have been other versions of this flag, based on such emblems.

The Paralympic flag replaces the Olympic rings with the logo of the 
International Paralympic Committee.

This specimen is in 
reverse on the reverse, even if the photographer doesn't realise. The emblem on 
this flag looks more like the party emblem to me than like  the national 
emblem. I expect the party emblem was on the national flag, in practice, when 
Taiwan was stopped from using it in the Olympics, so it's likely that this 
version of the emblem was included in the  first replacement flags. Peace Eye 
2000 does indeed have the party emblem for the Olympic version, but the 
national emblem for Paralympic version, and the generic version. Further 
research is indicated, I guess. 
It's also an interesting specimen in a different way: It's a super-hoist 
horizontal flag. 
Regarding the question on our page about versions with older paralympic emblems: 
At least one Wikimedia contributor apparently believes an
earlier version existed.
