There were several different lozenge patterns - 4 and 5 colour, different 4 and 5 colour and printed on different cloth by several manufacturers and finished with many different batches of dope. Getting it right is sort of the holy grail of WWI aviation history. Samples of uninstalled original material sell for big $$$ by the square inch.
Add to that the fact that the Poles were using surplus and captured stocks where and when available, well. yeah.
