Hi Familyman:
Alb.C.III built in 1917 would not have been front line aircraft, they would have been used as training aircraft in the varoius training schools for observers or possibly gunners. Some of the later reconnaissance aircraft were used as personnel transport in the Jagdstaffeln. Alb.C.I machines were used for basic flight training. They would not have been camouflaged with either paint or in printed fabric. Generally they were covered with plain unprinted fabric, which was clear doped and varnished for waterproofing. Pywood fuselages were not stained but shellacked and varnished. metal fitting, struts cowlings, panels, etc., were painted grey.
Blue skies,
Dan-San
