FWIW:
Here is the late fifties Tadashi Abe - Jean Zin book previously mentioned.
On the other hand, I haven't found references to Takeda/Daito-ryu in Mochizuki Minoru - Jim Alcheik book "Ma Mêthode d'Aikido Jiu Jitsu" from the same era.

Not just references. Most books referenced Daito ryu. But, how did the book portray Daito ryu in relation to Ueshiba's training and abilities? Was Daito ryu merely one of many that Ueshiba studied? Was Ueshiba a self made man? Or does the book show that Daito ryu was the main influence on Ueshiba's martial skills?
