Dan-San,
Thank you for your reply.
I agree with all you are saying although I feel you have mis-read my position concerning the streaky effect, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the camouflage was streaked. I am not so certain that we can say that Green and Mocha were definitely the top surface colours with blue and violet as the undersurface colours but this certainly seems likely given the similarity these colours would have to the dominant colours of upper and lower printed fabric.
I have never had access to really good quality photos of E.V aircraft in service and so I have always found it very had to notice any camouflage effect on their wings but recently I was given a copy of this picture of E.V 113/18, the aircraft that was sent to MAG, the Hungarian company owned by Fokker and was fitted with a 160hp Steyr built, 11 cylinder LeRhone derivative engine (not UrIII). I think this photo shows the streaky effect quite well.
