Clearly there was a B scheme, which was common on the earlier pre-war splinter pattern and if what we are looking at in the Ullmann illustration is the A scheme, the RLM colour segments in the photo do not match the Ullmann illustration to a certain extent... The different components appear to be a mixture of the A and B scheme as the undercarriage fairings adhere to the A scheme? seen in the Ullmann illustration yet the main fuselage pattern is an alternative arrangement of the colours seen on the Ullmann splinter pattern...

Would it be reasonable to assume that the individual components where supplied pre-painted and assembled into the finished article?
