Default Bucker Jungmann vs Jungmeister

Some years ago, I became enamored of an aircraft called a Bucker Jungmeister D-EVEO. In doing the research, I found that it was based on the Bucker Jungmann.

The Jungmann was a two seater, with a flight mission and appearance very similar to the DeHavilland Moth, i. e., a basic trainer.

The Jungmeister was a redesigned Jungmann. Smaller, single seater, highly aerobatic aircraft, intended to teach fighter pilots aerobatics. D-EVEO had an in line engine. This evolved into the radial engined Jungmeister that was extremely popular, and successful in aerobatic competition.

Now for my problem: I keep seeing a single seater aircraft referred to as a Jungmann. It is not that the front cockpit is covered over, there is no front cockpit.

The Kit Building forum has one, and a 1994 book on aerobatics by Dave Patrick shows pictures of his "Jungmann". The kit sizes indicate an aircraft not even as large as the Jungmann, even though they are called that.

None of my searches have taken me to a single seated Jungmann.

Can any one enlighten me??
