Django's guitars

LorenzoLeJazzHotLorenzoLeJazzHot Naples, Italy✭✭ JWC Prima Jazz
I've always wondered something about the other guitars that Django has played (except for selmer and selmer maccaferri, of course). I know that in the early pics he has a Ramirez guitar. Many luthiers make nice copies of that one, which seems quite selmer like (but sometimes I doubt the original one was that "crispy").

Does anyone know something about the guitar in this pic? Is it a Di Mauro?

Alain Antonietto's biography just says that Django's wasn't that rich at the beginning of his career to buy expensive guitars. But when I listen to the hot club of France I just hear Django and Stephane playing, so I'm not able to judge...

A guitar player in Rome named Nino Fruscella had a wonderful Mogar guitar that Django played for a few recordings in 1949. I saw it when I was a child, it still has his signature on the top:
