It's interesting that these have Curtiss Electric propellers.

Great photo--one I'd not seen before.

I am not sure about the propellers, not my field to regret :(

I enlarged the photo and edited my earlier post just as you were replying. They are Curtiss propellers connected to Wright 1820s.

It would be nice to see even better image and see precise camouflage. Two colors on topside?

The Dutch camouflage colours were identical to the Fokker D.21 etc. Also, the nose was different, with a longer enginecover.
