The aircraft is a DFW C.V (note the "WOTAN" decal on the propeller blade).

A crashed DFW C.V with a similar Monogram (A.S.? or S.A.?) marking is depicted in Windsock Datafile 53 - DFW C.V, by Peter Grosz. The caption reads:

44. Crashed DFW C.V of Flieger-Abteilung 68 showing the rib taping and the breather louvre in front of the tailfin.

The aircraft in the Windsock Datafile has the late war narrow balkenkreuzes, different to the crosses on the ebay photo.
