Stephen,
You need a better source on your D.I info. You are getting too hung-up on dates. Let me be your source.
Firstly, the two pictures on page 70 are almost identical, with the exception that one has a windscreen, but their camo patterns are reasonably identical (I have better photos). Also, both photos have the same date (with the airplane repositioned with the sun to the camera man's back) . I firmly believe this D.I was built by Junkers (Jco) using evidence that you have not found in the picture yet. My hypothesis is that is a single airplane. It also appeared with the early, long fuselage D.I on the factory floor photo. None of the other operational photos of D.Is, look like this D.I. No other D.Is have this asymmetric wing painting.
I am still waiting to see the one-piece turtle deck that you know about?
Jan
PS Both pictures have identical symbology, "Junk D.I", with no serial numbers
