Early Fokker built were in 5 colours, late Fokker and OAW and Albatros built were in 4 colour lozenge.
Some very late Fokker built (7786-7804/18, 103XX/18) and some OAW over 8520/18 were in 5 colours, some of them also in both schemes mixed.
Cheers!

Thanks Dan-San!
I was quoting Tomasz Goworek book "First Fighters of the Polish AF" which can contain a bit of outdated info, but in other aspects is very good book.
