DR3? Not DR2?

The game (BLITZ and Tobruk) is set in the very early 1940s. Thus, the correct model of "Dreieckrechner" in the game should be the DR2, not the DR3. I just found the following source in the internet:

 

http://www.wiki.luftwaffedata.co.uk/wiki/images/Dreieckrechner_2009.pdf

 

Quoting page 3 : "The oldest known DR2 is dated 3606, the last known is dated 4211".

 

And page 8 : "The earliest known DR3 is dated 4303, until 4311 they were built in this same DR2-like form, from 4401 to 4411, they were made in yellow, entirely fluorescent".

 

If the above is wrong please do not hesitate to point out any mistake I made.

Thing is, the DR3 disk now included in CloD "manuals" for DIY assembly is not a TFS thing, is a VO101_TOM work, done before join TFS, using scanned images of an real  DR3 disk, so I guess if he  have a DR2 disk  at hand... ?

 

BTW - An interactive flash version is available there:
