Hal is legit and doesn't mess with faked photos. That tidbit is interesting in that it shows Jacobs aircraft pre-Balkenkreuz. As to the other print I was talking about, I don't have a print but it appears in the Windsock Datafile Special on the Fokker Triplane (photo 21), but in the old Cross & Cockade US (Vol. 6/4) there is a larger view of the photo and that is where the outline of the insignia can be better discerned. It isn't a great photo, but is as good or better than the 470/17 photo you posted. So, hopefully, combining all of these pieces can help.
