Circle marking on Bf109G-14AS

As memo serves it has already been discussed somehere but where and when .. sorry can't remind myself ..
However not all Bf 109G-10 and G-14 had them painted. Perhaps it could be non standard marking (stencil) added by the maintenance crews or a manufacturer.

a few other shots including the "Rita"







"Gisela" seems to have it overpainted ...

 
Looks like a Circle with a Cross in it. Perhaps marking location for a Medical Kit behind headrest/bulkhead?

Interesting that the location of that circle varies in the above examples. A look through my various references has not produced an answer but at the risk of adding more mud to this, the Buchon recently acquired by the museum I volunteer at has a small air scoop in the area.

 
If you look closely you will see a small cross in the middle of the circle. This marking designates the aircraft's centre of gravity.
