Udet's Other D.VIIs

I was studying some of the photos in Osprey Aviation Elite #16 'Richthofen's Circus' and was hoping someone could confirm which of Udet's D.VIIs are pictured.
On page 95 is Heinz Drekmann in front of his machine and behind is Udet's. Based on the caption these are Jasta 4s first two BMW engined machines. Is this Udet's Fok.D.VII (OAW) 2076/18 ??
P. 103 has the other side of the same machine as above - based on the style of the 'LO' marking.
P. 112 btm. has a pic of D.VII(F) 4253/18 ?? The 'LO' is distinctly different in this photo from the first two.

Thanks in advance.

Udet's Fokkers.

Cliff:
The photograph of Udet's Fok.D.VII on page 103 is definetely a Fokker built Fok.D.VII. Note the fin, half white, that makes it a Fokker Fokker! The photograph on page 112. The LO! is near the same as the photograph on page 103. What is not clear is the exclamation point, but use a glass you will see the bottom of the exclamation point. I am more intersted in how he could tell the other machines were built by OAW, hmmm!
Blu skies,
