Fokker DV 2729/16 - Jasta Boelcke ?

Is it possible for anyone to confirm that the Fokker DV used by Jasta Boelke as a transition trainer for pilots preparing for the Fokker Dr.I was 2729/16.

A post on the Forum dating to 2013 flagged up two pictures for sale on E bay at the time indicating this may be the case.

Thanks Machinist

Yes I think Greg posted it twice the second time on that amazing thread you started on the Fokker DV.

I was hoping this may be the same picture alluded to in the thread from 2013 -'Two Fokker D.V Photos' which referred to two pictures on Ebay now obviously gone one of which was


Foto, Flieger, Flugzeug, 1917 Jasta, Fokker, Boelcke, 1. WK Fok D 5 2729/16 | eBay

Which possibly implied it did fly with Jasta Boelcke.
