Of further note:

Albatros D.V 2065/17 dragon's tail continued on the fin and rudder as an unoutlined red multiple branching tail ,each branch ending in a barb. Dr. Merrill believes there were as many as 13 branches, but also notes his count may be off by one or two.

For further reading see "Jagdstaffel 5 vol 1 " by G.K. Merrill. Bob Pearson has done a superb rendition of this aircraft according to Merrill in this book.
