No, I mean the fact that the Eisernes Kreuz was modified by giving it a narrow border proves that the first repainting was done previous to the official markings change to the Balken kreuz. One researcher was stating some time ago that there was no proof (actually he put up a challenge for any proof) of MvR's involvement with this aircraft prior to the 20/4/18. The fact that it was painted in his colours prior to early March proves this but has never been acknowledged.
