Mate I've located a colour profile calling it the Lloyd 40.15. A fighter aircraft of Austria-Hungary...1917...?

Yes Graeme. My source calls it also Lloyd 40.15 which would make it Lloyd B.

If you look at German Wiki (not English) for Lloyd C, they describe Lloyd B as the 40 series, first of which 40.01 did fly in 1914 to the altitude of 6,170 m in a Wien-Aspern Air Meeting.

Back to you mate

When I was ten I drew the outline to scale of a Heinkel He 111 on a basketball court in chalk.
