It does look like a DH, here is something I found since posting the above:

Ali P note the request to people to raise money and how Gilan and Mazandaran came through. Long live TABARESTAN!

Scroll down and read about Col Nakhjavan!

Guessing

That is this one:

I'm not an expert on old planes (or even new ones!) but they do look similar and according to this wiki:

Iran did have some of those, beginning in 1924. 

Interesting post, and photo... thanks! I had no idea Iran had an air force that long ago. The west was barely investing in air power, in those early days.

Is there anything in modern Iran that was NOT initiated by Reza Shah??

 

Thanks for the pic.
