your picture shows a "non standard" nacelle with additional fairing around the engine and rear cockpit, maybe that was removable.

With these Otto pushers there was no standard, almost every machine was slightly different. The museum in Schleißheim is building a replica and they told us during a visit that they chose a configuration that was well documented by photographs.

There were at least three different rudder assemblies, one with three rudders and a "biplane tail", an angular single rudder and the rounded Farman style.
The museum will do the three rudder variant.
