Jan you've gone back in time, or is this a case of saying WWII was just a continuation of WWI. This is what many believe.

Jan, you should check out some of the color schemes of Ltn. Kurt Monnington of the Imperial German Air Service.
Highly unusual for that period and became rather macabre toward war's end.

Kurt Monnington and Georg von Hantelmann had very similar markings it seems....

Hantelmann's colors were blue and red while Monnington's D.III was black overall and hs D.V was a streaked green/dark green over a gray underside.
If you look closely at Hantlemann's skull and crossbones, you see that it's a faithful reproduction of the Braunschweig Hussars insignia, which he served with before joining the Air Service.

Contact the decal manufacturers to order. In Russia there are two men that do such decals.

Now, was Fokker D.VII, CWL 22.05 a Fokker built machine, an Albatros or OAW?

CWL is a Polish Aircraft company, I believe.Now, was Fokker D.VII, CWL 22.05 a Fokker built machine, an Albatros or OAW?
The D.VII was manufactured by Albatros, Ostdeutche Albatros and Magyar Altalanos Gepgyar (Hungary - postwar).
The Poles may have built some after war, since their air force employed a number of them.
The Polish AF had about 50 Fokker D.VII biplanes. About 20 of them were reacquired from France. About 20 were bought from Germans. A couple of them was captured in the Greater Poland during the uprising there. and a couple of Fokker D.VIIs Poland got as the war reparations. These planes were a mix of aircraft made by the basic German factories involved in the production. I mean the Fokker in Schwerin , Albatros Werke in Johannisthal and its branch Ostdeutsche Albatros-Werke ( OAW ) in Piła (Schneidemühl). It is said that these bought from Germans were made by the OAW factory. Unfortunatelt there aren't any records survived.
There weren't any Fokker D.VII built in Poland. The abbreviation CWL means the Central Aviation Workshops (Centralne Warsztaty Lotnicze). The aviation workshop was settled down in Warsaw and the task was to repair aircraft and engines. In the years 1919-1920, CWL repaired former German planes because all of them were the war production series. In 1925 the name was changed to the Centralne Zakłady Lotnicze (CZL) - Central Aviation Works. And in 1928 the aviation workshop became the Państwowe Zakłady Lotnicze (PZL) - National Aviation Works. When an aircrfat was overhauled by the CWL it got its number painted on the side of the fusealge. In the case it is 22.05.
To answer the question ... unfortunately the vents on the engine covers aren't noticed well but I would use the OAW variant.

22.04 looks different....
22.04 definitely look like a late OAW D.VII, while 22.05 doesn't match anything for what I can see....

Yep the 22.04 looks like the late Fokker built while the 22.05 like the late Albatros one. But please pay your attention to that the Albatros in Johannisthal started assembling D.VII basing of parts delivered by the main Fokker factory initially. At that time the licenced production relied on sending to the co-producion plants an plane as a model or basic parts for the final assembling before the own production of these additional factories could begin. So the OAW started the licenced assembling with parts delivered by the main Albatros plant.
The Polish Fokker D.VIIs were obtained from a couple of sources. So these could differ in details.
