Early production Cl.II appear to have been finished in a similar fashion to that seen on DFW C.V built by Halberstadt under license from mid 1917. The upper surfaces of the fuselage (and top wing centre section) were camouflaged in a distinctive multicolour stippled finish in a patchwork design which became less distinctive as production continued. The patchwork camouflage on the fuselage was described in the capture report for late production Halberstadt Cl.II 15342/17 as "...colours arranged in indefinite areas and shading into one another. The colours used are a cloudy yellow, dark and light green, brown, purple and a light blue" which appear to have wrapped around to the undersides on many later production aircraft. The only known contemporary reference specifically mentioning the fuselage bottom colour is for 15342/17 which was described as "...coloured yellow throughout" and would appear to have been finished this way at the unit for identification purposes. The fuselage wreckage of very late production Cl.II 1231/18 and a 2nd unidentified Cl.II were described simply as "camouflaged ... green and brown" which indicates they were probably painted in a similar fashion to the dark brown and dark green stipple finish found on several surviving Halberstadt Cl.IV fragments. Some very early production aircraft had their wings and tailplane upper surfaces finished with light 5 colour lozenge (intended for use on the bottom) with plain bleached (white) linen undersides and had the bottom of the fuselage (and underside of the top wing centre section) painted white to match. But most aircraft had the upper surfaces of the wings and tailplane covered with the more appropriate dark 5 colour upper lozenge fabric and the light 5 colour lozenge used on the undersides as intended. Some very late production Cl.II utilized 4 colour lozenge fabric. Additionally many colourful unit and personal markings were applied, all of which remain amongst the liveliest of topics for modellers to debate.
