Hal & Manfred,

this is only a guess, but perhaps Frankls victim on 3 Aug 1916 was a french Nieuport? Esc N 103 lost two Nieuports this day. The pilots were Sgt Jean Mafert et MdL Debrod. Both MIA.

Esc N 103 was equipped with Nieuports 17 at this time and it was stationed at Cachy as part of Groupe de combat de la Somme. So Frankl and the pilots of Esc N 103 had the same area of operations during August 1916.
