ii) Degelow's Alb-built - black with the white stag.
iii) Raesch's Alb-built - red/white with the "fork" design
iv) Riedl's OAW-built - blue/amber with "arrows & sword" design

And your pictures really helped Claudio - I searched for ages trying to find a shot from just that angle."

The differences between the late Schwerin & OAW is minor. There was one extra circular access port on each side of the cowling on the OAW and on the pilot's left side upper cowling there was a long access panel.

The OAW vertical rudder stabilizer is all white.

Where the Schwerin is half painted white. White the front half in lozenge.

On the OAW the pilot's step and grab handles on the lower longerons were kicked out at a 45 degree angle to the fuselage frame.

The national marking are in slightly different locations. Here are some images of a late model Fokker D.VII (OAW).
