Update!
Photograph of two Jasta 8 Albatros D.V machines, one clearly showing the tail empennage...multiple stripes, probably black/white, vertical on the fin and rudder, extending laterally across the horizontal stabilizer.
'The Jasta Pilots', by Norman Franks, Frank Bailey and Rick Duiven, Grub Street Press
Photo plate section mid-book, 24th photo page, top row Left.
Adjacent to the Right is a Pfalz D.IIIa ascribed to Jasta 8 in 1918 - it has a striped fuselage, but appears to have a single-colour tail.
I haven't been able to find this photo on line, so I'll try to scan the book photo & see whether I can post it here.
