I think, it may be the AEG G.II. Now numbers built are around 20, and there is one image of G 49/15 described as one of the last. Given that the numbers don't add up, due to allocation of G number to many manufacters. But the GI model only had one built, says the same source.

Roser:
Mossie is correct, it is an AEG.G.II. Iwas part of an order by Idflieg on
7 April 1915 for seven AEG G.II, serial numbers G.2/15 to G.8 /18. Deliviers began around July 1915.
