I cannot imagine another source but eduards Hannover Cl IIIA kit in 1:48. Could that be the case? Or have I misunderstood your question fundamentally?

You're correct but....

I bought this kit off evilbay for $34.00.

It came with the Eduard decals as well as the other sheet. The kits decals below.

The kit decals are labeled as such, the mystery sheet has nothing on it. They are printed completely differently than the factory sheet.

Allan,
Those were the decals that would have been included with the Koster Aero Enterprises Hannover kit.

Happy Modeling, Kevin
