Langdon:
I resoled this problem in 1999.
1. The stains were not mixed together to achieve an olive color. Tey will not produce an olive green or brown.
2. the stains were applied directly to plywood, green and mocha on the top surface and azure and violet on the bottom. The blue matches the green on the leading and trailing edge and the violte matches the mocha.
3. I have identified four and five panel pattern. The wing is NOT divided into equal areas, it is assymetric. The patterns slope right / or left \. The angle of the slope at the center-section is about two rib bays.
It seems the streaking is more uniform in density than what was done on fuselages and tailplanes. on the early Fok.D.VII aircraft.
After staining was dry, the wing was varnished.
I would suggest you go back and re-look at the photographs and you will find the streaking. Once I had detected the wings were streaked and reviewed the photographs, I found it in almost every photograph.
Blue skies,
Dan-San
