Hello Dan-San,

I do not believe this would apply to the E.V-D.VIII, I have searched the web and there are some sites that deal with "Lasur" which they describe as a coloured or colourless wood glaze. The original Fokker E.V wing drawing #33050/1 is specific when it describes the pigments used as "Sch Holzbeize" which is water soluble and would be applied directly to the plywood surface prior to the finishing coats of varnish.

The mention of the use of dark colours on the top surfaces and lighter colours underneath does tend to confirm your ideas of a green and brown upper surface and blue and violet undersurface colours.
