Brandenberg is the only company I've found to make much use of inward sloping interplane strutts. But no matches I could find there. So.... I guess I'l keep looking.

I think Dave has it. The DII had the same struts, but I don't think the elevators are quite the same.

The Austro-hungarian experimental Phönix 20.16 in its second version. The first version of this experimental had a sesquiplane and a completely filled fuselage to the upper wing, resulting that the pilot could see nothing straight ahead. He could look possibly over the upper wing a little bit, judging from pictures.
What we see here is the second version of the 20.16 which can be distinguished by its equal wings and the radiator on the leading edge of the top wing. There was also romm between the top wing and the fuselage to look straight ahead. This experimental was judged ripe for production in August 1917, to become the Phönix D.I production fighter. The D.I still had the inward slooping struts Breguet. Dave has got a full point again!
