SPAD XIII Bleriot lower port wing camo

My PD decals 1:48 Bleriot camo drawings show the lower port wing in Light Green / Black / Light Green bands ( outer to inner ) - I note that the Eduard 1:48 SPAD option "C" drawings show the aircraft of Adj. Blanc, which appears to be the Bleriot pattern except for the inner band which is Brown.

Is this another manufacturer ? Which is the correct pattern ? Are there any other available drawings of patterns other than the Kellner or Bleriot ?

Two Bleriot Patterns.

GSPointer:
There are two Bleriot patterns, the early pattern was used on SPAD XIIIc1 with the rounded wing tips, and the later pattern for the more square wing tips. For the lower left wing panel light green, matt black, light green, the same arrangement in both lower left panels.
