If I remember correctly, the original (correct) rudder was damaged on the ground by another aircraft and the replacement rudder was made about 10% larger to improve ground handling and landing.
I distinctly recall seeing the Albatros after the accident with the entire rudder painted silver. It must've been in the mid-80s.
