If the above sentences are correct, then this means that when we talk about a past event which is described by the {-DI'}, then always the {-pu'} is appropriate.
Or, to express the same question differently "is there a way for a past event, which is described by the {-DI'} not to be completed, thus not being able to take the {-pu'} ?"

Is the "seeing" completed? Say the "seeing" takes place over a couple hours. If the -DI' refers to when you start to see them, the beginning of that two hour period, you would not use -pu'. - DloraH
