My opinion, and it should be noted this is just an opinion, is that DSA made a good "estimate" when no info was available reference Kirschteins aircraft. Interpreting these old photos is not a simple matter. With the info that has come to pass since Dans original article there is little doubt in my mind that this was simply Kirschteins scheme with a Red LO painted on the fuselage. It is not uncommon to see white markings such as crosses that differ from white personal markings in tone on these photos. I have to agree with Taz and others although a unique Udet scheme would be cool!
