The Swedish Resistance Movement (SMR) is a Swedish, militant Neo-Nazi
organization that exists in Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö and Linköping. The Leader
is Klas Lund, former member of White Aryan Resistance (VAM), and convicted of
manslaughter.
The aims of Swedish Resistance Movement is to establish a Nordic government by
revolution. The organization says their fight will require bloodshed. Like many
neo-Nazis and white nationalists groups, they call themselves the resistance,
because they consider themselves to be fighting Jewish-Marxist tyranny.
The organization is mainly known for their links to heavy criminality. According
to the Swedish Security Service, the SMR is the Neo-Nazi Group which is the
biggest threat against Sweden's inner security. Their main tactic is handing out
leaflets about crimes committed by foreigners and immigrants in Sweden,
arranging public rallies and training their members in martial arts and other
physical activities such as marches and paintball. Their camps in the Swedish
woods have left some people to believe they are training for a civil war or a
revolution. In November 2003, the Swedish Security Service raided homes of
leading members, among them Klas Lund, who was later sentenced to prison for
illegally possessing a firearm.

I can see that one flag has the emblem on a plain green background, while the
other one has it on a green “diamond” (square standing on a tip), itself on a
green and white horizontal triband. Both the emblem, on both images, and the rim
of the square — are black and show narrow white edging.
The emblem is a “stick-figure” arrow (i.e. made of three strokes sharing one end
fanning out at an acute angle, the middle one longer) pointing up, and/or
(because often these symbols have dual meaning) the nordic rune tyr "ᛏ" (aka
teiwaz; see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiwaz_rune).
The up-pointing arrow is sometimes used by
political parties worldwide espousing Christian-Democracy views (which
is not what may sound to unware US readers); the tyr rune is #12 in
von List’s (crackpot) version of the futhark, the one cherished by
neo-Nazis, and it is used as emblem by several such groupings, namely
the Thule-Seminar.
I note also that flag uses a slightly darker sade of green,
and wonder if this is meaningful, and also wonder what’s the
difference between these two flags. (Pete’s text doen’t mention the
flags nor any other emblematic usage.)

Here's the source picture. Nice and big
to see details.
The flag with plain field seems to have the ratio 1:2. and that of the triband
seems to be 3:5. He used RGB 51-102-51 for plain field flag and RGB 51-153-102
for the triband.

I have noticed the outline, too, but it did not look black to me, just darker
than the rest of the field. Also, the outlined diamond looked darker than the
rest of the field, but lighter than the outline. My conclusion, in absence of
more images of the flag, is that the diamond was sewn onto the flag, making the
area less transparent and therefore looking darker. Of course, it is possible
that we find more photos of the flag which will prove Antonio's impression to be
correct.
