I'll let someone else deal with the German acronyms & abbreviations. In French service, escadrilles were identified by an aircraft type and number designation. The number remained the same; the aircraft part of the identifier changed when the escadrille was re-equipped. So N.163 became SPA.163 when it replaced its Nieuports with SPADs. (MF was Maurice Farman; HF Henri Farman; and so on.)
