My only reference that mentions states the following:
"The Albatros DVI twin boom single seat pusher biplane powered by a 180 hp Daimler DIIIa engine was built during 1917, and was flown for the first time in February 1918. The undercarraige was damaged during the intial landing and had still to be repaired in May when further work on the DVI was suspended due to higher priority allocated to other projects. The engine was then removed for another application. Armament comprised a fixed forward-firing 20 mm Becker cannon and a 7.92mm LMG 08/15 machine gun. Empty weight 1,406 lb. Loaded weight 1,940. Span 32 1 7/8, Length 25 ft 5 1/8 in."

Hope it helps - though what you describe sounds different - more like a modification on the DV rather than what seems to be a rather archaic design by 1917-1918 standards
