Correct that she is SESOSTRIS.
But Hapag did not adopted their funnel colours from any other company. They always had a full buff yellow funnel and added the 3 rings black-white-red to their funnel top following the Flag argument in 1926 to respect the old Reich colours. This funnel was shown from 7 January 1927.
Deutsch-Austral colours were a white-red band on a black funnel.
Rgds, Manfred

This photo shows the German steamer Sesostris, (3987 grt) built in 1922 by Reiherstieg Schiffswerft, Hamburg (520) for Deutsch-Austral und Kosmos Linien, hamburg. In 1926, this firm was taken overby the Hamburg-amerikanische Packetfahrt A/G (HAPAG - Hamburg Amerika Linie). In this year, HAPAG adopted the iconic funnel colours of a black, white and red band on top of a yellow funnel. The black, white and red bands were in fact the upper part of the funnel colours of the Deutsch-Australische Dampfschifffahrts Ges. (Deutsch-Austral). Whilst interned at Puerto Cabello (Venezuela) sunk by its own crew to avoid capture by Venezuela on April 1st 1941.
Best wishes,
Schepekees

I think she is a local ship.
Permanent awnings over the bridge wings, the focsle, and elsewhere are a clue. Also the two dark bands on the funnel seem to be the same colour.
Profile is interesting with a well deck frd of the bridge which was not that common.
