I agree.
Wolfgang's image is the actual tripoint border
marker fastened onto the rock.
This below site used to have the Austrian border

border markers.

yes
thank you very much indeed for this corroboration
& i would bet your
guess is correct

diagram must lie
can just about tho not quite be seen on the panoramic
view
at the high point in front of the cross monument
