a note though .... it seems the number 219 seen in the pic is not applied on the gun access cover but at the bottom of the bowl of the pilot's seat. The seat was dismounted and put at the top fuselage in front of the cockpit windshield.
 
Now i see it. Thank you. Question is: Why? Why numbering a seat? i can understand the cowling because of fitting. hence perhaps last digits from wrknr (saw that before), but where is the 219 coming from?

There could be a couple of reasons for that. The number is hand written. So it could be the result of a repairing for example. Also it could be taken form a different Wurger and its maintenance crew marked it to keep it in mind. What is more it could be a marking of the co-manufacturer who was assembling the seats in a forest barn near Brema or in Gądki woods near Poznań for instance.
