As you might know in the late 1950s east Germany operated their scheduled flights under it's own Lufthansa brand. Only after losing a courtcase against west Germany's Lufthansa they switched everything to their charterflight brand Interflug.
Now a static display Ilyushin Il-18 at Leipzig airport got repainted in that original "Deutsche Lufthansa" (East) colours for the first time. It got delivered in that style back then. Note the old DM reg. too. Please have a look for yourself:
